Richard Osman’s first novel. It was a massive success from the get-go, selling tens of thousands of copies in the first few days after publication and becoming a Sunday Times number one bestseller. It is the first book in the "Thursday Murder Club" mystery series.  The book introduces four septuagenarians living in a peaceful retirement village who meet weekly to solve cold cases. When a real murder occurs on their doorstep, the club members investigate their first live case and catch the killer.  Witty dialogue, charming characters, and a distinctly British feel. A cozy mystery that blends humor with poignancy.
