A retirement village’s amateur sleuths take on a live case

In a peaceful retirement village, four friends who meet to revisit unsolved crimes are pulled into an investigation when a local developer is found murdered. A photograph left beside the body gives their club a concrete mystery to pursue, while a police officer faces her first major case. The setup brings amateur detection and an active police investigation into the same story, with the club’s members drawing on their shared interest in old cases as they work through a new one. This is the opening book in Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series, and its central case begins close to the group’s own community.
