In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders.

But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.

Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer before it's too late?

I am not a vegan and have no intention of ever becoming one, but I still feel like it's something that should be encouraged. [...] We'll just drop in, as if me visiting a vegan café is the most natural thing in the world. 

Ibrahim und Ron sind schon so zwei Rabauken

"He forgets things. He's very old, Detective Chief Inspector. A very, very old man." 

Memory was the bogeyman that stalked Coopers Chase. Forgetfulness, absent-mindedness, muddling up names. What did I come in here for? [...] The sons and daughters would joke too, but keep a watchful eye. Every so often you would wake at night in cold dread. Of all the things to lose, to lose one's mind? Let them take a leg or a lung, let them take anything before they take that. Before you become "Poor Rosemary", or "Poor Frank". [...] 

Almost certainly you mixed up your daugher's and granddaughter's names because you were thinking of the potatoes, but who knows? That was the tightrope. 

No kneeling for him these days though, arthritis and Catholicism being an uneasy mix.
