The August 2025 Read:

The Thursday Murder Club

By Richard Osman

In the month of Netflix releasing a dramatised film of this brilliant book, it seemed the perfect time for The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman to make its monthly read debut. 


Blurb:

In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders.

But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case.

Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.

Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer before it’s too late?

This charming and high spirited story introduces us to four unlikely friends, bound by their love for solving mysteries. Full of twists and turns, this crime-solving novel is hard to put down and will keep you guessing until the very end.
