Afternoon Book Club: The Thursday Murder Club

Who doesn’t love a good mystery?  The Winfield Public Library October Reading Challenge is “a mystery,” and the Afternoon Book Club is tackling the challenge with Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club.  Copies of the book are available to check out at WPL’s front desk.  The book discussion, open to the public, will be held on Wednesday, October 19 at 2:30pm. 

Published in 2020, The Thursday Murder Club is 382 pages and has a 3.9 rating on goodreads.    From the publisher: 

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.

When a local developer is found dead with a mysterious photograph left next to the body, the Thursday Murder Club suddenly find themselves in the middle of their first live case. As the bodies begin to pile up, can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer, before it’s too late?
