I was on a very long waiting list at my local library for this book—I’m so glad I finally got a chance to read it!

I loved the mystery and reading as the Club worked to solve the crimes. There were several “red herrings” throughout, so I didn’t know how the clues fit together until the very end (which is always a plus for mysteries). This book gave me major Agatha Christie vibes.

ALSO, I enjoyed the 4 main characters—Ron, Elizabeth, Joyce, and Ibrahim. They’re relationships with one another and witty banter had me laughing out loud. All four of them had great senses of humor and were really like-able characters. Their conversations reminded me of The Golden Girls (which is a high compliment).

I wish the book didn’t end with a few cliffhangers, but hopefully that just means a second book is coming!

Overall, I think The Thursday Murder Club is the perfect “cozy” mystery weekend read. I highly recommend this one!
