The Thursday Murder Club

At Coopers Chase, a luxury retirement village in the Kentish Weald, four residents meet every Thursday in the Jigsaw Room to pick apart old murder files. Elizabeth will not say what she used to do. Joyce has a diary, a nurse's eye, and cake. Ibrahim brings the psychiatrist's notebook. Ron brings the union-hall volume. When a killing happens on their doorstep — and then another — the club gets the live case they have been practicing for. Funny, twisty, and sneakily sad about memory, friendship, and who still gets taken seriously after seventy.

“We have forgotten our manners, Detective Chief Inspector. We haven't offered you any cake.”
