The Thursday Crime Club, by Richard Osman

It is not always easy to read a humorous novel. Because people assume that a guy who reads a book is delving into brainy essays or gripped by the tension of the novel plot of the day.

So laughing while reading quickly invites you to think about some kind of psychopathy. I spent a lot with Tom sharpe, that genius of the absurd plots who in a great way evokes this Richard Osman novel.

Because again it is about ridiculing completely opposite genres such as police. And in that, in the grotesque made satire, these two English pens know well how to awaken the most liberating hilarity. Because in the most ridiculous scenes, literature can measure up to any other form of humor.

Synopsis

In a peaceful private retirement complex, four unlikely friends meet once a week to review old unsolved local murder cases.

They are Ron, an ex-socialist activist full of tattoos and revolution; sweet Joyce, a widow who is not as naive as she appears; Ibrahim, a former psychiatrist with incredible analytical skills, and the tremendous and enigmatic Elizabeth, who, at 81, leads the group of amateur researchers ... or not so much.

When a local real estate developer is found dead with a mysterious photograph next to the body, The Thursday Crime Club is in the middle of its first real case. Although they are octogenarians, the four friends have a few tricks up their sleeve.

We already know that when grandparents, with the placid horizon of a retirement to indulge in obsessions, manias, filias and various phobias, they prepare to surrender to their last lost cause, the world can start to shake.
