When I asked a reader the other night what she was reading she replied “I’m reading a book just for fun.” “So am I” I replied. We agreed that we didn’t always have to read serious books. A few weeks ago MJV asked if I’d read any of Richard Osman? Which, I had not. Soon three Osman books appeared in my mailbox.

     Finishing The Thursday Murder Club, I concur that it is a fun read. First published in Great Britain in 2020, it’s New York Times ‘Bestseller’. That being the case perhaps both of you have read it. Part of the allure is its setting in an English Old Folks Home. The Thursday Murder Club is comprised of four residents of the OFH. They meet on Thursday seeking to solve British murder cases. They reminded me of fellow inmates in my OFH. This novel has the usual twists and turns of any good novel often with a humorous bent. Peopled with many characters it’s best read steadily lest one lose track of who’s who. Read if for fun.

Takk for alt,
