THE FIRST BOOK IN THE #1 BESTSELLING, MULTI MILLION COPY SELLING SERIES BY TV PRESENTER RICHARD OSMAN.

Read by Lesley Manville, soon-to-be star of The Crown. Featuring an exclusive Q&A between Richard Osman and Marian Keyes.

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?

Really didn't enjoy this at all. All the publicity around these books is just hype, poor story line, very poor characters and hopeless pace. Don't bother ud83dude21ud83dude21ud83dude21

I loved The Thursday Murder Club. A well-paced, funny and surprising story, with a host of fantastically written characters. It was so refreshing to have the narrative told by a bunch of OAPs!

I loved this book! It keeps you guessing right until the end with plot twist after plot twist. The way Richard Osman creates his characters and weaves their stories is masterful. I have never experienced a book about murder which has been so heartwarming.
