Week 0 Book - The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
The first word that comes to mind to describe this book is “cozy.” I picked this one up on a whim off the reccomendation of a friend and really enjoyed it. Set chiefly at a nursing home, the story takes some entertaining yet poignent jabs at the way that seniors are frequently underestimated despite their years of experience. I really enjoyed the incorporaton of Joyce’s journal as a narrator for the events of the story, and found the book had a nice brisk pace overall. The use of dialouge and clear descriptions of staging made it feel quite a lot like reading a play-by-play of a BBC miniseries. I’m trying not to buy any more books before I’ve worked through my backlog (part of the reason of me starting the blog), but I might not be able to resist picking up the sequel soon.
