This third outing of the Thursday Murder Club is just as much fun as the other two. Four pensioners living in a gated community get together every Thursday to discuss and try to solve a cold murder case. Each of the four is a wonderfully portrayed personality. They include a former spy, a psychiatrist, a doddering (maybe) busybody and a supporting cast of characters just as delightful.

The murders are intriguing and come with additional characters to join the fun. This time around a former KGB hitman joins the four and I hope he sticks around for more chapters in this series. Not quite a cozy (murders do happen!) but not a bloodthirsty thriller either. This one deals with stolen money, cryptocurrency, an aging TV star, the requisite murder (and several more murders) before the plot plays out.

Well worth your time. A clever plot that is satisfying at the surprising conclusion.
