This fifth installment in the beloved Thursday Murder Club series is a worthy addition to the collection. In fact, I found this more fun to read as the mystery was a little less convoluted than it has been in some of the past books. There’s still lots of emphasis on character and setting as much as on plot, which is one of the delights of this series for me. This book is the first one released after the original book in the series was made into a Netflix movie, and there’s a sly joke inserted here as a nod to people who complained about a specific casting choice in the movie, along with lots of other gentle humour. I really enjoyed this book.
