In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet weekly in the Jigsaw Room to discuss unsolved crimes; together they call themselves The Thursday Murder Club. There's Red Ron, the infamous former socialist firebrand, still causing trouble; gentle Joyce, widowed, pining for another resident, but surely not as innocent as she seems; Ibrahim, a former therapist who understands the darker side of human nature; and Elizabeth? Well, no one is quite sure who she really is, but she's definitely not a woman to underestimate. When a local developer is found dead, the Thursday Murder Club suddenly find themselves in the middle of their first live case. The friends might be septuagenarians, but they are cleverer than most. Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer before its too late?… (més)
En un pacífico complejo privado para jubilados, cuatro improbables amigos se reúnen una vez a la semana para revisar antiguos casos de asesinatos locales que quedaron sin resolver. Ellos son Ron, un exactivista socialista lleno de tatuajes y revolución; la dulce Joyce, una viuda que no es tan ingenua como aparenta; Ibrahim, un antiguo psiquiatra con una increíble capacidad de análisis, y la tremenda y enigmática Elizabeth, que, a sus 81 años, lidera el grupo de investigadores aficionados… o no tanto.
Cuando un promotor inmobiliario de la zona es hallado muerto con una misteriosa fotografía junto al cuerpo, El Club del Crimen de los Jueves se encuentra en medio de su primer caso real. Aunque sean octogenarios, los cuatro amigos guardan algunos trucos en la manga.
¿Podrá este grupo poco ortodoxo pero brillante atrapar al asesino?

After a certain age, you can pretty much do whatever takes your fancy. No one tells you off, except for your doctors and your children.
"Some people love their children more than they love their partner," says Ibrahim, "and some people love their partner more than their children. And no one can ever admit to either thing."
Elizabeth can see Chris Hudson now, fresh off the plane, she guessed, running as best he can. She gives him a friendly wave and sees the relief on his face—both that she is still alive and that he can now stop running.
People love a murder, whatever they might say in public. (23)
I try to be honest where I can, so I hope you don’t mind me saying I don’t like him (Ian.) He’s all the things that can go wrong with a man if you leave him to his own devices.
