The Thursday Murder Club Book Pdf Download

What a joy this book was! The Thursday Murder Club filled a void in my adult life I didn’t know existed. Granted, there are only four members of this amateur criminal cabal…no dogs (yet!)…and ginger ale has been replaced by expensive bottles of Malbec…and bones may be crunchier than those of my beloved kid gang, but the exploits, the Charm, the well-intentioned bickering and fabulous ability to outwit the rozzers are wholeheartedly present.

Put simply, The Thursday Murder Club has the potential to become the most influential piece of marketing the (luxury) retirement home industry has ever seen. It vividly recreates a thoroughly chic rural setting with rolling hills, farm shops, little stone bridges over a meandering river… and features an unexpected abundance of llamas… but very charming overall. And the retirement town itself, Coopers Chase, offers a variety of activities, outings and gatherings to rival any 18-30 club, albeit with a more age-appropriate distinction…

… Aside from the Murder Club Thursdays, that is. It’s a sort of black ops covert group posing as a Japanese opera discussion group to deter intruders and those unfazed by the garish and graphic unresolved crime scene and autopsy photos. The group of four, formed by retired police detective Penny and glamorous ghost Elizabeth, meets weekly to sift through the files on unsolved homicides that Penny dutifully “declassified” prior to her retirement.

Unfortunately, if we join Club One, you’re fallen members, Penny; lost in the advanced stages of dementia and now bedridden in Willows; the village nursing home. As an old friend of Elizabeth, it’s her visits and one-page monologues that drive home the book’s inescapable and quite moving moments. Because while The Thursday Murder Club is a witty and funny crime thriller, it’s also a compassionate window into the future where the characters young at heart come to terms with ill health, unwieldy recipes, widowhood and whatnot. or two regrets.

But precisely because it’s such a funny novel, these slightly frightening truths are presented with just the right amount of light-hearted banter before setting off to solve the next mystery.

The club has always been a group of four, so Elizabeth wastes little time recruiting Joyce; Retired nurse, talkative, devilish confectioner and with an often underestimated face.

It’s Joyce’s fabulous, uncompromising diary that makes up a large part of this book, lending voice to a character brimming with idiosyncratic quirks, unabashed observation, and the charming but casually caustic criticism that only the older generation can get away with. . . Her chapters felt like sitting down with long-lost grandparents and listening raptly as they brutally put down anyone who upset her that day. The slang and slang are so perfect that it took me a Herculean effort to recall that those words were actually from Richard Osman’s “pen” and not Joyce’s.

Ron and Ibrahim complete the club; two chalk figures and cheese Ron is a retired and highly visible union leader; a tattooed and rather loud-mouthed West Ham supporter whose outspoken and argumentative nature is generously explained as “Well, that’s Ron”. Heart of gold…salt of the earth…bull in a china shop…and secretly adorable. For his part, Ibrahim is elegant, precise, immaculately dressed, and with a Gatsby-like composure and politeness that immediately captured my heart.

He was a psychiatrist in his prime…perhaps Elizabeth saw him as someone who could glean the truth from unknowing suspects during her armchair investigations. Left to her own devices, I have no doubt that she has painfully effective skills that she can use on the most reluctant of humans.

For the junior team there’s PC Donna De Freitas, a cool character who brings tongue-in-cheek wit and a touch of jaded Londoners to the rolling Kent countryside, and her boss, DCI Chris Hudson, who isn’t cut out for the ambitious and sharp-tongued . Whirlwind who just joined your team. On paper, they really shouldn’t gel as well as they do… but they do, and very well. You shouldn’t develop such a great relationship with the subversive Murder Club crew either… but the chemistry is top-notch, leading to sparks and laugh-making clashes.

It doesn’t take long for the Murder Club’s investigation to transition from theory to practice, with the first murder involving the owner of their retirement home. The brave four’s undisguised cheers made me laugh, and when the second murder happens even closer to home, the mood shifts from dizzying excitement to downright celebration.

The victims and suspects are as colorfully characterized as Joyce and company, and while they’re an eclectic mix of the hateful and the unfortunate, I enjoyed meeting them just as much as the good guys. None of them are prepared for the determined snooping around of four humble retirees whose remarkable discoveries give DCI Hudson a headache himself as he struggles to keep up with his undercover investigations.

Don’t underestimate the welcoming nature of The Thursday Murder Club… the main characters may be older, the settings may be elegant and the humor may surprise you… but this is a crime thriller of the most entertaining kind, with an unpredictable plot and a great one Cast that adds many twists and tricks to the puzzler. While the murder may seem fairly obvious at first, take a moment to reflect on the awesomeness of the mind that created and wrote this story. I can honestly say that this was the most enjoyable read…and I want more.

It was a pleasure reading Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club. I was excited to read this book when I first heard about it a few years ago. What really sets this book apart for me are the characters. That gave this book an original twist. I liked the idea of ​​the residents of the seniors’ village meeting every Thursday to talk about murders. It’s something I could envision when I’m that age that for me is many, many years away.

Residents of Cooper’s Chase, billed as ‘Britain’s first luxury retirement village’, meet for the first time on a Thursday to discuss old cases. The group is formed by Elizabeth and Penny. However, Penny is no longer part of the group because she is in a nursing home. The group now consists of Elizabeth, Ibrahim Arif and Ron Ritchie. Another featured character is PC Donna De Freitas, and her idea of ​​working for the police is certainly not to give a safety lecture at Cooper’s Chase. But it sure impresses the best detectives in Cooper’s Chases.

When Richard Osman is first introduced to the group, the seniors’ village feels similar to when school started. Here you are with all these new people, and you need to figure out who you’re clicking with. It is also clear that there will always be these people with whom you will not get along.

Shortly after Joyce joins the Thursday Murder Club, they soon find themselves in the middle of their first live case. A local builder, Tony Curran, was murdered. Now it’s time for the group to show off their skills and try to outwit the police. It quickly becomes clear that the mystery surrounding Tony’s death runs much deeper than it appears.

The characters really made this book entertaining for me. I especially liked Joyce’s story. He keeps a diary and throughout the book we read excerpts and hear his innermost thoughts. You can see the group is serious about solving the recent murder. I also liked PC Donna De Freitas. I could tell he wanted to make a name for himself, especially when it was revealed early on that he “wishes he had a gun.” I hope he appears more often in this series and would love to see his career develop. .

Richard Osman created a diverse cast of characters which also makes this book interesting and I enjoyed watching them all interact with each other. There are as many ways I can think of for Richard Osman to take on this series. I’m excited to see what will happen and what cases will emerge next for The Thursday Murder Club. I am also sure that this will not be the last time the police will hear from our dynamic group.

TV presenter Richard Osman’s ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ was published by Viking on September 5 and is the first book in a new series. It was widely acclaimed, and Val McDermid described it as “a warm, wise and witty warning never to underestimate the elderly”.

The Thursday Murder Club is based in Coopers Chase, a posh retirement town where four friends meet weekly to discuss old, unsolved crimes. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron are in great shape and not yet ready to settle into an aging lifestyle. To keep their brains in order, they share information about these earlier cases, each bringing their own experiences. An original member of the group, Penny, was transferred to a dependent ward due to her deteriorating health, making Joyce the newest member of this ragtag group of amateur investigators.

It was Penny, a former police officer, who was the founding member of the group, and Elizabeth still speaks to Penny every day and tells her about the club’s activities. Can Penny hear Elizabeth? Who knows, but the relationship between the two is very gentle, very touching. The story is woven around Joyce’s diary logs, which are scattered throughout the book and offer some wonderful insights into the residents’ feelings and activities.

Miss Marple comes to mind when I read The Thursday Murder Club, except this time we have four characters with similar curiosity. When the body of the residence’s owner, a man with a dubious past, Ian Ventham, is found beaten to death in his own home, Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron are immediately assigned to work on the case.

Elizabeth is a wily individual with a devious history that hints at a rather colorful past, possibly a secret agent. She lives in the village with her husband Stephen.

Her condition worsens, but Elizabeth refuses to accept it. Joyce is a former nurse who is there with her daughter’s support (although it seems her daughter is very fortunate to have her mother at a slightly unapproachable distance from her). Ibrahim is a psychologist who still calls old clients but is ‘almost’ retired, and Ron is a former trade unionist known across the UK for his passion for picketing. Now it’s his son Jason stealing the limelight as a former boxer who isn’t ready to retire from the public eye just yet.

These four seventy year olds are a force to be reckoned with. When local police arrive, they are unprepared for the manipulation that awaits them. PC Donna De Frietas and DCI Chris Hudson make a wonderful couple, and they quickly realize that the members of The Thursday Murder Club are always one step ahead of them. (Yes, lifting of faith is a necessary requirement)

There are a number of mysterious happenings in and around Cooper’s Chase as the chapters unfold, but they’re all examined, dissected, and carefully woven into a noose as the story progresses.

The Thursday Murder Club is truly a gentle, entertaining and cozy read, the perfect book to ‘snuggle up to the fire’ on a cold winter’s evening. Much of the crime fiction on the market today is fast-paced, moving, and often quite gruesome. You won’t find that here in Richard Osman’s first appearance. The Thursday Murder Club book is a truly pleasure to read. It provides some much needed light reading in these very strange days. It’s a return to Agatha Christie’s crime fiction style that will be very welcome on many readers’ bedside tables.

Richard Osman also highlights aging and our society’s expectations of the elderly population. Just like here, everyone, regardless of age, has experiences and opinions and deserves the respect of the whole world. I can only hope to have the resilience and determination of this dynamic group when I’m older. Illness, grief, tragedy and death are dealt with very movingly, with some very touching farewells, but nothing takes away from the humor and general enjoyment of this heartfelt embrace of a book.

The Thursday Murder Club is a charming and light-hearted mystery. It’s a very entertaining first book in a new series which I expect will be very popular with all ages. There’s a deliberate innocence to the whole thing that’s both refreshing and very charming.

lovable intelligent. Attractive.
