Seniors are not born seniors. They have life skills and personalities. And that is what Richard Osman has captured in The Thursday Murder Club. The novel is set in a posh English retirement home. But retirement is not on the minds of the Thursday murder club members. The mystery and the twists were great, and I absolutely loved how these quirky seniors fly under the radar. Everyone underestimated them, including the police. Why should I read it?

In this cozy mystery Mable and Violet are fast friends and have odd adventures. I think everyone needs a partner in crime, so to speak. This is a series; each book has a different theme, which I like. This story is set in a theatre, a one-act play competition in small town Saskatchewan, Canada. From my experience in little theatre odd things do happen. Like in my writing, this story has humour, intrigue, and enduring friendship. The added bonus, a theatre critic who has it coming.
