Things are about the same as always in the senior home that houses the Thursday Murder Club. Elizabeth is mysterious as ever but her time is taken more and more taking care of her husband, Stephen, who is slipping into dementia. Ron has a girlfriend but is on the outs with her after an argument on when presents should be opened on Christmas. Joyce is between boyfriends while Ibrahim is alone except for his friends and a few patients he still sees.
Then something shocking happens. An antique dealer who is a friend of theirs is found murdered. Who would want to hurt such a harmless man? As the Thursday Murder Club starts their investigation, they are soon up to their necks in a drug deal gone wrong. They meet the head of the drug trade in their area who warns them they are putting themselves in danger. Another hard man, a Canadian who is married to an art forger, is also in the picture. As the bodies start to pile up can the Club solve the case of the missing drugs that are causing all the mayhem?
This delightful series is now on its fourth book and the characters are as fascinating and humorous as ever. Richard Osman is an author, television producer and presenter in England. His writing style is slyly funny while pointing out the issues faced by those getting older and there are many twists as the story progresses. This book is recommended for mystery fans.
