The Thursday Murder Club

A 3.5 star read for me but maybe because I wasn't in the right frame of mind to fully enjoy what is an extremely well-written, tightly-woven murder mystery with sprightly sleuths and nice (there's no other word for it) police detectives.
I appreciated the bits about the challenges and fears of growing old, and had more than a few good laughs while reading. It was the case itself, including its resolution, that didn't intrigue me as much as I expected, clever as it was. Also, when one character is far too smart and resourceful, it saps the thrill of the chase.
Having said that, I'm still picking up the second book in this series, just to follow Elizabeth & Co on their sleuthing adventures.
Would highly recommend this if you're in the mood for an entertaining and enjoyable very English murder mystery with four smart and sassy older amateur detectives.
