By <\/b>Richard Osman – <\/b>Pamela Dorman Books, 2020<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Every Thursday, four amateur sleuths meet to rehash unsolved crimes. They are an unlikely and quirky foursome: a nurse, a spy, a psychiatrist and a union activist, all residents of the Coopers Chase Retirement Village. Their differences are the strengths they bring to their detective work. To their utter delight, someone is murdered in their midst, a contractor with designs on expanding the community. The Murder Club has a real case! The police underestimate them and, <\/span>careless about sharing their own knowledge of the crime<\/span>, are bested by the club members at every turn. This witty whodunnit\u2019s author\u2014a British television celebrity\u2014has depicted the protagonists, all 80 or nearing so, as intelligent and credible, not a feeble, frail or pitiable one among them. This story closes with plenty of room for the Thursday Murder Club to return. Let\u2019s hope someone else gets killed. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
