What Members Thought

Four pensioners in the retirement estate of Coopers Chase in rural Kent spent their time reviewing unsolved murders. But one day the construction manager of the estate is bludgeoned to death in his kitchen and they have a real murder to investigate. I loved the very British humour, the cast of characters and tone.

I enjoyed Richard Osman's debut novel. Really enteraining, with lots of twists and turns.

Love all the twist and turns of this wonderful mystery by Osman, my only complaint is there are so many darn characters to keep track of. I felt like I was being tested for dementia, wonder if I passed?

This was overall a 3.75 for me. I had never heard of the series, but it was a choice for my online book group and it looked interesting. It started out a little slow and I wasn't sure I wanted to continue, but the more I read, the more I enjoyed the characters. The mysteries turned out to be interested, it was humorous and also poignant. I definitely plan on reading the next one in the series.
