I often start reading mystery series out-of-order, so after first reading the second book in the Thursday Murder Club series, I went back to read this first book. Four senior citizens from a senior living community gather to look over cold cases to see if they can bring anyone to justice. Elizabeth is the instigator, and has a mysterious background that she doesn't really talk about, but we can guess. Ron was a labor union official, and is still always ready to confront issues. Joyce was a nurse prior to her retirement, and Ibrahim is a psychiatrist.
Always looking to further their information, the group finds a way to meet some friendly police officers so that they can share (and receive) information. Meanwhile, the owner of the senior community, Ian Ventham, wants to expand the community and make himself even richer. He was sharing some of the profits with the builder, Tony Curran (a man with a violent past), but now wants to cut him out and use a different, cheaper builder instead. When more murders occur, the Murder Club moves into action, taking on the new cases.
The chapters in the book are written from different points of view, and vary from serious to funny to informative. Really enjoyed this story.
