The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

sasha99's review against another edition

3.75

 rogue opinion I know but felt a bit childish? Big writing, easy to read - might be after the spectacle that was the bee sting nothing could compare. Slowly started to get into it but just a quick easy read rather than a great book I think. Also can’t get over that Richard Osman wrote this, think that’s not helping me either lol. Definitely got into it more as it went on, and Kelsey mentioned it’s a winter read which I do agree with tbf. I did read it when travelling etc which might not have helped, but I thought the actual case was really interesting and kind of wish I’d read it more consistently. Will read the next few in the series over winter

Erittäin hauska, hyvän mielen kirja. Alussa pysyin kärryillä mainiosti, mutta tarina alkaa poukkoilemaan epäloogisesti loppua kohden. Aika yleinen rikoskirjojen ongelma ja epämieltymykseni voi johtua ihan omasta vajaa älyisyydestäni.
Paljon erilaisia kertojia, joista mielestäni mielenkiintoisia oli vain Joyce ja Elizabeth, mutta minkäs teet. Makuasia.
Itse murhajuoni oli... erikoinen ja menetin kiinnostukseni siihen. Onneksi hahmot ovat monisyisiä ja monien kertojien näkökulmat aiheeseen pelastivat kokemuksen. Hahmojen takana oleva historia oli best.
