Thursday Murder Club is the first book in a continuing series. It is a contemporary series. The series is still being written.
All my socks and most of my underwear is older than this book series. It is also written by a celebrity. I had my doubts.
I read Thursday Murder Club right after I read Demon Copperfield, a long, difficult subjects, intense book.
It took me a little bit to get into the swing of Thursday Murder Club. If I got distracted, I had to rewind a bit and relisten, because the characters change often. A distraction meant I missed a whole section.
Once I got into the flow of the book, I could keep track of the characters and the plot easily.
I started with a short character list. Once I got into the book, I no longer needed the list.

Note, there were long waits for all of these books, in audio format, through my various library connections. I purchased all the books in this series thru Audible.
There is an interview with the author at the end of the first book on Audible.
I am in the process of listening to the whole series as I sew over the holidays. I am doing the books one right after the other while the characters are all fresh in my mind.
I think these books will make a good TV series. It is being developed Netflix. I wondered if the whole series was written with TV in mind. My understanding is it is easier to sell a TV series if it is based on a popular book series.
When I saw Osman’s photo, and noted his height of 6’7”, I knew him from somewhere.
His bio clarified it immediately, “Would I Lie to You? is a favorite show.
