Thursday Murder Club

 I have been urged to read this whodunnit due to it being sited in and around a retirement village south of London, given that we have experience of village living. Having read it, there is another connection here as well, being the nearby town of RobertsBridge. Now this is the town we were informed by a local when we were last there, that the surname Roberts came into usage.  This was because the founding priest named Robert, who everyone seemed to work for, had his name attached to them eg not only was it Robert's bridge but also Robert's field and Robert's baker.

Back to the book, there are plenty of funny jibes at the retirement village scenario. My favourite is the chair committee who immediately requested I be part of the group, seeing I was in my sixties and a young buck at that.  The book involves numerous other groups, the most feared being the parking committee however the smartest is the Thursday Murder Club. As for working this one out before the climax, good luck, particularly when there are multiple bodies.  There are more in this series and this one has made it into film, so now I will have to chase the rest of them. At least the library had this one.

I think the cover could have had more thought.
It seems the fox represents the cunning of TMC
