Mixed feelings: The Thursday Murder Club
⚠️ Spoilers: minor plot detail mentioned below. I went into The Thursday Murder Club with pretty normal expectations and it surprised me. There are a few scenes that genuinely hit emotionally. The middle drags and repeats the same tension a bit too long. There’s a specific turning point late in the book that changes the tone hard — that moment will make or break it for you. Not perfect, but it did enough to keep me turning pages.

Not for me: The Thursday Murder Club
The Thursday Murder Club has a strong core idea — the execution mostly works. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.
