“This book about murder sure has a lot of heart. I came to truly care what happened to these people.” Name and credentials
“The action hooked me, but it was the character development that kept me reading. I felt as if I knew these people; even the characters I didn’t like were complex and believable. Kindley put me under their skin.” Name and credentials
The contrast between the hitman Nick Barons and the small collection of seniors who stood with Pete and Foxy to defend Willie was extreme, but still it wasn’t black and white. There were no one dimensional inherently bad, or good people in this story. These were real people. Name and credentials
I particularly enjoyed the drama and interaction between the group from the High Rise that Pete and Foxy brought to the wildlife farm. Each person was a story in themselves, and together they formed a surprisingly complex and dynamic group; all with the sinister presence of danger lurking in the distance. … Name and credentials

When I ran across this series, my first thought was, “Ugh. A group of old codgers (I am one, btw) solve mysteries. Spare me the Golden Girls Have an Adventure…” But then I read some reviews and decided to try the first book. I was immediately hooked. I read straight through books one, two, and three. I pre-ordered #four. And then I waited, and waited and waited.
When it FINALLY landed in my Kindle, I immediately set aside my other reading and jumped in. “The Last Devil to Die” did not disappoint. I think it is the best one yet. The characters are relatable and nuanced. The plot twists and turns. The writing is rich. And hilarious. And poignant, wise, and satisfying. Now I have to wait, and wait, for the next one. I have loved all Thursday Murder Club books, and this one is stellar. The quirky characters, the banter, the plans, life and death situations, and our favorite characters all together solving a murder mystery.

This is a timely book that exposes the use of religious pretense to conceal greed, political manipulation, and criminal activities behind a smokescreen of false righteousness that no valid religion could ever sanctify. Name and credentials
During the first 50-75 pages, I was thinking there was too much going on, but on reflection I think I just wasn’t ready for a book this good. Once I got further into Hospice, I relaxed and was swept up by the story and the characters. Name and credentials
The sense of place is so real it’s almost a finely drawn character itself. It made it possible for me to accompany the characters wherever they went and see and experience what they did. Name and credentials

The writing is splendid, and each character so well defined. Joyce gets to come out of her shell and lead a bit which is fun. I love her dear diary entries. We are taken on an emotional ride that is remarkably well done. There are so many feels in this story. Ibrahim tells a part of his past story, which is heartbreaking! Elizabeth needs to take some time to be with her Stephen, and oh the feels there are there. Ron is funny and can be stubborn, yet he does have a sweet side. They all work so well together and even Chris, and Donna concede to their plans. I love Patrice and Boghdan, and hope as Joyce does that in the next book there will be a wedding.
