THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB
In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet weekly in the Jigsaw Room to discuss unsolved crimes; together they call themselves the Thursday Murder Club.
When a local developer is found dead with a mysterious photograph left next to the body, the Thursday Murder Club suddenly find themselves in the middle of their first live case.
As the bodies begin to pile up, can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer, before it’s too late?
Less than 10 instances of swearing, though 3 are strong “deity” swears.
5 definite references to murders, one briefly violent “on-screen” and another on-screen and subtle but the act is only described in retrospect. These two are described from the victim’s perspective. Also includes 3 suicides and one “mercy killing”, none of which are graphic in description.
Casual social drinking mentioned often, beer and spirits, especially with elderly characters, but no drunkenness or alcoholism.
One veiled reference to a sexual relationship but no descriptions or details.
Other than the religious swear words, the book is relatively inoffensive.
