What a delight. This book begins immediately after the first book ends, so have it handy so you can start right in. Well written, cleverly plotted. The strength, though, is in the delightfully engaging characters and their enjoyable and warm interactions. Nice light fare, with a few home truths sprinkled about. Very much looking forward to Book 3! ( )
"I imagine if you could hear all the morning tears in this place it would sound like birdsong." p.20
Living at Cooper's Chase, a retirement community can be lonely. Is it death's waiting room? The Thursday Murder Club has found a way to make good use of their time. They solve murders. At first, it was just looking at cold murders, but then the bodies started piling up! Although the book is a murder mystery, it is really about friendship, overcoming loneliness, and living life to the fullest, no matter your age. It is a hilarious, fast-paced but thoughtful book.
Second books in a series can be hit or miss—but not this one. Might be even better than the first one, with more humor, more character development, and even a little more mystery. ( )
More of the same as the first in the series, with the same characters developing, and introduces Elizabeth's husband. Spies, schemes and deceptions. ( )
