Welcome to Litsy!

29-31 Oct 25 (audiobook)
Finally got around to the first in this series (having picked up the second as the best of a very small selection at the Bali airport a few years ago).
For anyone unaware, the Club is a quartet of octogenarians living in a retirement village in England reviewing unsolved murder cases. When a number of murders occur in and around the village, they decide to investigate. Quite fun and will probably continue at some point.

Finished this book today!! Now I can watch the Netflix movie!!🍿

This was a perfect gothic story for the October season. It weaves together elements of Jack the Ripper, Mary Reilly (movie), Jane Eyre, and Frankenstein. It was such a good story; I flew through the whole book in one day. I wished it was longer.

What a fun book!

This is not your traditional murder mystery book since it‘s not written in a novel format. Instead, you are given all the pieces to solve the mystery yourself. These included pictures, interview transcripts, notes, maps, newspaper articles, etc.

This is a predictable but entertaining thriller that leaves a path into book 2 at the end. I‘m curious enough that I‘ll be reading that one as well. Oddly enough, this was more about getting to know the two main characters than it was about plot. But I was ok with that.

This is a reread for me, but I loved the entire series so much that I'm rereading it for my work book club. ☕️📚🐛

I eat up cozy mysteries like candy, especially when the characters are as wonderful as these four. There's nothing earth-shattering here, but of course I'll read the entire series.

The movie was also the epitome of a 3⭐ film, but with those four actors, I sure hope they make more.

⭐⭐⭐✨/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After reading this, I can totally imagine a few of you causing chaos with me in a retirement home… I‘m not tagging anyone to protect your reputations. You‘re welcome.
