The first novel in the record-breaking, million-copy bestselling series — soon to be a major Netflix film!
About the Book
In a peaceful English retirement village, four unlikely friends meet every Thursday to solve cold cases over tea and biscuits.
But when a local developer is found dead, the Thursday Murder Club suddenly find themselves investigating a real murder — one that’s disturbingly close to home.
Meet Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron — a charming, witty, and unorthodox group of pensioners who may be pushing eighty,
