Thursday Murder Club Mysteries – Great British Book Club

The Thursday Murder Club

In the peaceful Cooper's Chase retirement community in southeastern England, four friends come together each week for a meeting of the Thursday Murder Club – a group that discusses unsolved crimes. It seems like a bit of harmless fun to keep their minds active, but that will soon change…

When a local developer is found murdered and in possession of a mysterious photograph, they'll find themselves up close and personal with a very real, very current homicide investigation. Will their combined skills be enough to solve the murder before too many more bodies pile up?

Joyce Meadowcroft – A former nurse and frequent narrator of the book. She is a member of the Thursday Murder Club.
Elizabeth – The founder of the Thursday Murder Club – and a woman with an intriguing past
