Genre: Cozy Mystery / Crime Fiction
My Rating: ★★★★★ (plus a box of tissues)
Oof. This one hits hard — emotionally, narratively, and in all the right places.
The Thursday Murder Club is faced with their most personal case yet, and while the humor and charm are still very much alive, there’s a deeper current of grief, aging, and legacy running through this one. It’s heartfelt, respectful, and absolutely earns its emotional beats.
Still, Richard Osman keeps the mystery tight and the characters real. Joyce steals every scene she’s in (again), and you’ll close this book feeling like you’ve said goodbye to old friends — even if you’re hoping for more.
