Story
It was supposed to be fun. A relaxing trip to a remote mountain retreat where there’s no phone reception. Three couples, friends since high school, are looking forward to a weekend of drinking, reminiscing and flirting. When someone suggests swapping partners, it doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. The lights will be switched off, for privacy. It’s not really cheating if you don’t know who you were with, right? But when the lights come back on, one of the men is dead. No-one can agree who was in which bedroom with whom.

They don’t know what I’m capable of....

England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

Still spinning from the hustle and bustle of city life, Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker is glad to be back in the Cornish village she calls home. Having quit the Met Police in search of something less dangerous, the change of pace means she can finally start her dream catering company and raise her daughter, Daisy, somewhere safer.

2 thumbs up
This was an absolutely delightful story that put more smiles on my face than a murder mystery should. The reader had a great voice, and her way of reading the story added real personality. I can't wait to listen to more books by the author.

surprisingly uplifting!
Having recently enjoyed Lesley Manville reading Anthony Horowitz i thought i'd give this a try -- but i was skeptical of a debut novel by a celebrity. i admit to be being pleasantly surprised.
This isn't quite in the vein of Horowitz who is a master of the whodunnit. it is character-led, focused on residents in an upscale retirement village -- but somehow avoids all the stereotypes of cosy crime and Miss Marplesque busybodying to produce something quite inspiring. This is the elder community we all want to live in and these are the people we'd love be at 80. it is well written, fun, witty and warm.
Not sure how The Sunday Times critic arrived at "reflects society as it is"?! To me there is something magical about it. The characters are substantial enough but they get away with a lot, rarely make a wrong turn and extract confessions remarkably easily, leaving the police a few steps behind. That this is so unlikely -- and yet plausible -- is the charm of this book. Nice chat with Marian Keyes at the end.

Murder done well!
Richard Osman's debut novel is one of the best murder mysteries I've read (okay, listened to). The narration is excellent and the characters are strong and believable. I feel like I've met some of them before, and I live in Australia!

Listen to this book!
I haven’t had my love for stories rekindled the way it was listening to The Thursday Murder club. I’ve recommended it to all my loved ones. Read it and fall in love with the incredible characters. It’s fabulously written. Also Lesley Manville is fantastic!

fun, engaging m multilevel mystery
I really enjoyed the setting, the way the story is shared by between the outside narration and Joyce's diary. I love that the police are involved and intelligent and that the retired folk are connected now but clearly with different experiences to contribute to their sleuthing. Elizabeth is very entertaining! I read the second book first but it didn't matter. Excellent choice of narrator.

Wholly satisfying
Richard Osman’s first novel is thoroughly enjoyable, with real and loveable characters. It is full of quiet humour and delicious plot twists. Ms Manville’s performance is ideally suited to the characters. What a great choice to give voice to this entertaining book. I am going hunting for the second book immediately.
