The theme this week: The Benefits of Age-Gap Friendships. Sometimes having “old friends” means being friends with old people, and that’s a great thing. Let’s get into why elderly accomplices are good for our physical and mental health. Then, on to our book…

In the twilight of their lives, a group of four unlikely friends discovers a shared passion for photos of grandchildren over liquid lunches and murder. Together, they form a club of amateur, capable sleuths who can talk their way into any room and out of any trouble. But when local police find a string of dead bodies around town, speculation turns to the group of golden gumshoes. Could one of the elderly analysts actually BE the murderer?⁠

The name of the group: The Thursday Murder Club.

The book is by Richard Osman.
