This was the second book in the series and I think I actually enjoyed it more than the first one. The first book deals with Euthansia which is a heavier topic. This one just has murder! There is again a lot of humor in this book. I really like the four main characters and I also enjoyed getting to know the supporting characters Donna and Chris a bit better. This is a book that I really enjoyed the experience of reading it. I did feel like I rushed through it a bit at the end though just because I really wanted to know how it ended. I didn't see some of the plot twists coming and quite enjoyed the ride. I continued to enjoy Elizabeth's matter of fact-ness "...Elizabeth will use the stairs while she still can. Stairs are good for hip and knee flexibility. Also, it is very easy to kill someone in a lift when the doors open. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and a ping to announce you're about to appear. Not that she's worried about being killed; it doesn't feel to her like that's what is happening here, but it's always important to remember best practice." And Joyce continues to be a bit naive which was quite funny at times. There were a few crude sexual references and approx 20 uses of blasphemy. Other than murder and drug dealing and some other violence, I don't recall any other content issues. The violence and murders were not overly graphic. I would recommend this series and I'm looking forward to the next one. What a delight. This book begins immediately after the first book ends, so have it handy so you can start right in. Well written, cleverly plotted. The strength, though, is in the delightfully engaging characters and their enjoyable and warm interactions. Nice light fare, with a few home truths sprinkled about. Very much looking forward to Book 3! "I imagine if you could hear all the morning tears in this place it would sound like birdsong." p.20 Living at Cooper's Chase, a retirement community can be lonely. Is it death's waiting room? The Thursday Murder Club has found a way to make good use of their time. They solve murders. At first, it was just looking at cold murders, but then the bodies started piling up! Although the book is a murder mystery, it is really about friendship, overcoming loneliness, and living life to the fullest, no matter your age. It is a hilarious, fast-paced but thoughtful book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The ongoing, main plot of the series is - a group of pensioners with very interesting and very diverse backgrounds meet on Thursday evenings at their posh retirement village’s ‘Jigsaw Room’ to discuss unsolved crimes. The group consists of Elizabeth Best, Ron Ritchie, Joyce Meadowcroft and Ibrahim Arif.
The plots are complex and very clever. The main characters are interesting and fun to be with.
(I feel like I know these people!) They are fun, smart, interesting, charming and endearing. Their conversations are a main draw of the series (for me).
An unexpected visitor (actually Elizabeth’s ex-husband) arrives at Cooper’s Chase, desperate for help. He has been accused of stealing diamonds (20 million pounds of uncut diamonds) from a very bad man during an assignment. He is now ‘on the run’.
***** I’m hooked on this series. An excellent read. ( )
