The Thursday Murder Club by Richard OsmanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
There’s a lot of different perspectives being told here which can make it confusing to piece a plot together. There’s a diary as well as first person accounts which flick from character to character which makes it difficult to understand where each character is in relation to the plot, as well as a lot of assumptions in place which can make it difficult to understand who is being accused of what. It’s not always clear. I enjoy the seniority of the older characters and the quips that they find or feign themselves into as they attempt to deal with the modern world but the other characters are just too stereotypical. And there’s just too much mystery surrounding one of the protagonists, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they had turned out to be a suspect in their little perfect world that they’re engineering. There’s just too many deaths and past plots to focus on which make the conclusion a little confusing.
