by Richard OsmanIf I ever have to live in a retirement community, I would like it be like Cooper's Chase, where Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim have a lot of fun. They formed The Thursday Murder Club with the intention of trying to solve "cold cases" from former member Penny's police files. They invited PC Donna De Freitas over to talk about home security, but really they wanted to ask about murder and stab wounds.
When new murders occur in the community, they are convinced they can find the culprit. Eventually, working with two reluctant police detectives, they take up the challenge.
Celebrity writers can be a hit and miss experience. I found this delightful. I loved the senior citizens with their sassy antics and their zest for life. I loved the twists and turns of their unorthodox investigations. The gentle humour strikes just the right balance, without being too flippant or cheesy. I also liked the detectives, with their protectiveness of the septuagenarians and their good-natured acceptance of their often questionable behaviour.
