Thanks, Margie for reminding me that I need to read book 2 in the series and letting us know about the Spielberg & Amblin production. So exciting to see older actors getting a chance to do something amazing.
I’ve wanted to start this series for a long time. The library waitlists are crazy long, but the notification says “soon”. I guess it must be extra popular because of the adaptation?I see you put it in the indigenous folder. Is it just this particular book or does the tag fit the whole series? I thought it was set in England.
I just put it in the monthly folder and marked it SUBDUE. Should I have put it elsewhere? Other, maybe? Sorry if it is in the wrong folder. It is not Indigenous - It is set in England as you said.

Don't worry about it.
I love this series and look forward to a movie!

I read a book set in Sweden with an indigenous culture, but I guess it was too much to hope that there was some indigenous Viking group in England. LOL.
Don't worry about the folder mixup. We've all done it. Some of us multiple times. (Between folders and labels, I almost always have to edit or move my review posts to fix something.)

In this book, the mystery taps into the past of Elizabeth as a spy and puts herself and Joyce at risk for being killed by 'The Viking'. Two murders, one in the past and one current, weave the tapestry of the tale. I love that while the mystery is being unfolded these 70+ year-olds are deeply involved in the aspects of modern life - Google, crypto currency, and more. No drop outs here.
This is a cozy humorous mystery story that will warm the hearts of those that are in retirement and promote hopefulness in the hearts of those pondering what those years will be like.
A credit to the well-liked series can be found in Steven Spielberg and Amblin production company working on a film based on the Thursday Murder Club. Filming has not yet started, actors are not yet disclosed but the scripts are apparently written and projections are suggesting 2024/2025 release. How exciting is this?
