The Book Club Murders

Product Information

All in all, this was quite an entertaining ride. It did have certain OTT elements, but those were quite limited, and such farfetched situations are anyway part and parcel of this genre nowadays. So I just kept my logical hat aside and enjoyed the journey, going with the flow merrily. I wanted a fun popcorn thriller, and the book delivered! Count me in to try more books by this author.

We'll add publisher questions if and when they're available. In the meantime, use our generic mystery questions …then take off on your own:In this read you get to tag along with Izzy who moves into her Aunts house. She’s starting a new life to get away from her controlling boyfriend. Along this new journey navigating a life alone, she meets the ladies in a book club. While getting to know them the twists start coming and do not stop. This is the first book in the Oakwood Mystery Series. It is a cozy with a bit of a twist. There is some swearing and a little sex, but it is not graphic. There are several murders, there is a serial killer, which is a little uncommon in a cozy, but again, not graphic so if still fits.

The main character Izzy had a chronic illness that I appreciated being represented and one of the characters transitioned from male to female which I feel is underrepresented in books so it was lovely to have a character going through that.

When your nasty ex is banging on the door and refusing to take no for the answer, a cosy book club in the home of a nice local woman seems like the ideal place to take a much needed breather. Members include the nice woman who also happens to be an unemployed architect… her husband is fond letting his dog shit in another book club member’s garden. There’s the failed actress whose husband is soon to be her wife, and the legal eagle whose husband is a bit of a dodo. Then there’s the hair stylist and social influencer with a hipster for a husband; they have plenty time for photo shoots but no time for each other. Finally there’s the local mother and daughter Olympic standard gossip team. A group of pensioners (Elizabeth Best; Ron Ritchie; Joyce Meadowcroft; and Ibrahim Arif) [1] set about solving the mystery of the murder of a property developer [2] in the luxurious Cooper's Chase retirement village near the fictitious village of Fairhaven in Kent. [1] Publication [ edit ] I bet you’d love to belong to a book club where each member was called Agatha, in honor of the great Agatha Christie 😉.I found the premise of book to intriguing to begin with. The suspects are all a part of a murder mystery book club and the killings are set up from depictions in actual mystery novels, some we all might have read at one time or another. The way the story plays out is engaging and most every character is a capable suspect. Even when you think you've guessed the ending, your armchair detective ego will be hit when you find out the truth. The premise for this story is great, the plot is well developed, and I can’t wait to get to know the characters better as the series continues. I had no idea who the murderer was until the moment of the reveal, which is just the way I love it.” —Book Babble Thank you. This isn’t one of our Book Club books. The most recent one we’ve done (as of this post) is The Rabbit Factor: https://crimefictionlover.com/2022/01/the-rabbit-factor-by-antti-tuomainen-2/ But then, murder happens - and it's someone connected to the book club members. Not long after, another one bites the dust, and clues lead to passages from book club selections and the suspicion that both dirty deeds were done by the same hands. Fingers begin pointing toward another of the club members, so over Marc's objections, Charlie's valuable insights translate to her acceptance on the investigative team. Finally, she even convinces him to let her use her knowledge and skills as an inside-the-club informant in the hope of ferreting out which is the killer. Of course, that puts Charlie squarely in the crosshairs of someone who will do anything - including kill again - to keep from being identified.
