With Joyce as my witness

The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman

July 13, 2022 by Bothari43 3 Comments

This book is like a hug for your soul. And since I listened to the audio book, for the ears. I loved Thursday Murder Club, and when some trusted fellow readers told me the second one was even better, I was skeptical. But it’s so good! I love Joyce. I love Elizabeth. I love Ron and Ibrihim. Did I mention I love Joyce? The plot doesn’t really matter; it’s enough to get to hang out with these wonderful characters. But, in case you need more […]

The One Where I Don’t Like What I Think I Will Like

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

Perfect Prey by Helen Fields

April 23, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

The Thursday Murder Club (Richard Osman) ** Perfect Prey (Helen Fields) ***½  Somewhere, in a very British and very sedate retirement village, a group of seniors get together in the jigsaw room where they solve unsolved crimes. They’re pushing eighty, they have opinions on which type of cake is better (walnut). They are Ron (former commie rabblerouser, scourge of the Thatcher era), Elizabeth (former detective with a fantabulous past full of the sort of intrigue James Bond could only have dreamed of), Ibrahim (former psychiatrist […]

In One Word: Satisfying LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK. LOVE IT. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I’m done reading it and I can’t read it again the first time. This is the second book in Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series and I really tried to hold out on reading it, since I just finished the first a month ago, but I could not wait. I saw a review from someone who said they loved the first one and they loved […]

An Absolute Page-Turner of a Mystery

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

March 4, 2022 by krisbholland 1 Comment

After several rave reviews and a feverish few weeks waiting for my copy from the library, it turns out everyone was right. Thursday Murder Club is fantastic! Set in the picturesque fictional village of Coopers Chase near Kent in the Southeast of England. Coopers Chase is the home of an upscale retirement community which is, of course, packed with eccentric characters. The cast includes Joyce (a retired nurse), Ibrahim (a psychiatrist in a former life), Ron (a union organizer) and Elizabeth (a woman whose past is […]

This book brought such unexpected joy into my life :)

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

March 3, 2022 by postcardsandbooks 2 Comments

Look who has fallen behind in her reviews again. Big surprise, right? But I’ve been reading so much, and such great books that I can’t really complain.  This was the last book I read in January, and it just brought sunshine into my life. I did not pick this book up on purpose. I’d seen it in Waterstones all throughout last year, and it never really caught my attention. But I was browsing my library for immediately available audiobooks, and I recognized that one and […]

In one word: Charming Once again, the recommendations of the Cannonball Read community came in with a flawless pick that I absolutely adored. I believe it was at the last CBR Zoom meet-up that this book was mentioned. I know by now if more than two or more cannonballers chime in with YES YES THAT’S A GOOD ONE about a book that I should just go ahead and bump it up to the top of my list. (Three cheers for internet friends who though you […]
