Dee asked this question about The Thursday Murder Club:
I have not read this book yet, but the synopsis sounds very, very similar to James Pattersons "Womens Murder Club" series or "The Sisterhood" series by Fern Michaels. Both are phenomenal series' and i would recommend them both if you like books about serving justice to the criminal mind. But is this book "The Thursday Murder Club" worth the read?

Count me among those who spent much of the time spent reading it laughing out loud. The four members of the Club, a rabble-rousing former labor leader, a semi-retired psychiatrist, a retired nurse, and a former spy all bring unique skills to solving cold cases until they are confronted by contemporary murders in and around their upscale retirement home. Then they coopt a couple of members of the homicide squad to obtain access to police information. As you'll see from the other responses here, not everyone's a fan of Osman's book, but count me as a five-star enthusiast. So if you're able to enjoy the cosy genre, I'm guessing you could enjoy The Thursday Murder Club as well.(less)
