The Thursday Murder Club

Who said old age has to be dull?

In a peaceful retirement village off the A21 in Kent, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved killings.

But when a local property developer shows up dead, 'The Thursday Murder Club' find themselves in the middle of their first live case.

Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be octogenarians, but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer, before it's too late?

A page-turning murder mystery in the tradition of Christie, and a joyful, laugh-out-loud celebration of modern Britishness and the power of friendship, The Thursday Murder Club is a true classic in the making.

Utterly charming and very, very clever. Exactly what you'd expect from Richard Osman writing a crime novel -- Sarah Pinborough What a joy! Full of brilliantly observed humour, spot-on dialogue and twists and turns aplenty. Joyce and the gang are now my favourite crime-solving team -- Nina Stibbe A warm, wise and witty warning never to underestimate the elderly -- Val McDermid Funny, clever and achingly British - what else would you expect from a book by Richard Osman? -- Adam Kay A superb debut. Thrilling, moving, laugh-out-loud funny and packed with characters you will want to see a LOT more of -- Mark Billingham Compelling. Mystery fans are going to be enthralled -- Harlan Coben Smart, compassionate, warm, moving and so VERY funny. I smiled a million times. This book will make a lot of people very, very happy -- Marian Keyes
