Great bedtime reading
Thanks to Richard Osman, I’ve been introduced to a new genre of Crime story: “Cosy Crime”. More Miss Marple than Rebus, and written with style and wit. There is a murder, but it’s the four elderly protagonists who try to solve it who spark my interest. We get to know them gradually,over many chapters, and though this could never be called a page-turner, the brilliant observation of old people and their foibles is wonderfully entertaining. This is what I’d call Slow Fiction, written in a thoroughly modern style, and though you have to reread paragraphs every now and end to keep up with some clumsy changes of viewpoint, it’s worth the effort. I’m looking forward to the next book, “ The Bullet that Missed”; the title alone ia delicious!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Tedious Mundane Club.
I've always enjoyed watching Richard Osman on TV. An intelligent and witty man, i was sure those qualities would transfer across to his novel. I'm afraid i was wrong. There isn't one single character that is memorable or realistic. The writing style of Mr Osman is rather flat and fails to grab the interest of this reader. I kept with it to the end in the hope it would improve. It didn't. I hear Mr Osman will be writing at least 2 more TMC's ? I won't be reading.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Wide spectrum of audience.
Well above reading age 14 year old loves it, who has since seen one of his teacher's and a friend's mum brandishing a copy, so must cover a wide spectrum of reader. Book in great condition and service was excellent as always - would recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A Very funny OAP mystery
When I began I had no idea who the author was or expectations of how exceptionally funny and refreshing this book would be. I wasn’t sure at first but after the first few pages I was laughing out loud and quickly realised what a treasure it is . Very British, sharp and clever and not in the least patronising towards us older folk. I have recommended to many of my friends & given two copies awayVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Humour a bit cloying and forced. Not my bag!
Really, it's personal taste! I did not find it funny, and although it's supposed to be a "cosy murder mystery," It seemed to me the author forced himself to be amusing. But it is highly rated by others, so hey - just my opinion!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A wonderful read, totally brilliant.
I was intrigued by the idea of the Thursday Murder Club, and I do like a nice Murder book. I was hooked from page one, I think it was the way the characters slowly developed on every page. I like the way we had different angles and different characters in each chapter, it made it somehow more real. The conclusion was a big surprise and carefully hidden until the very end. Needless to say I have read all the others in the series. I have become quite attached to the characters and can’t wait for the next one. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes value for money, every page is a delight.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Don't bother
Very disappointing, very poor story, how an earth did they persuade decent authors to recommend it...Garbage and I'm not the only one to say so...I offered my copy to my local library who declined as they had had several disappointed members.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The Thursday Murder Club
This isn’t great literature but the story is intriguing enough to keep one reading and wanting to know who the murderer is. The retirement village was an unusual setting- there’s life in the oldies yet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
