Summary:
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 aficionado... 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. -- Amazon.com
"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?
