Nach dem Weltbestseller Der Donnerstagsmordclub der zweite Fall für die rüstigen Hobbydetektive 

Es ist ein friedlicher Donnerstagmorgen in der Seniorenresidenz in Kent, als Ex-Agentin Elizabeth einen Brief aus der Post fischt. Darin bittet ein langjähriger Freund und Ex-Kollege um ihre Hilfe: Es geht um gestohlene Diamanten und einen Mafioso, der vor nichts zurückschreckt, um sie zurückzubekommen. Bei ihrem wöchentlichen Treffen im Puzzlezimmer der Residenz weiht Elizabeth den Donnerstagsmordclub ein. Gemeinsam mit Joyce, Ibrahim und Ron macht sie sich auf die Jagd nach einem skrupellosen Mörder. Und wenn sie auch die Diamanten finden? Nun, wäre das nicht ein schöner Pensionsbonus?

“So schlau und lustig. Leider ziemlich gut.” Ian Rankin

"Eine warmherzige, weise und witzige Warnung davor, dass man die Älteren nie unterschätzen darf.“ Val McDermid 


Man möchte meinen, so eine luxuriöse Seniorenresidenz in der idyllischen Grafschaft Kent sei ein friedlicher Ort. Das dachte auch die fast achtzigjährige Joyce, als sie in Coopers Chase einzog. Bis sie Elizabeth, Ron und Ibrahim kennenlernt oder, anders gesagt, eine ehemalige Geheimagentin, einen ehemaligen Gewerkschaftsführer und einen ehemaligen Psychiater. Sie wird Teil ihres Clubs, der sich immer donnerstags im Puzzlezimmer trifft, um ungelöste Kriminalfälle aufzuklären. Als dann direkt vor ihrer Haustür ein Mord verübt wird, ist der Ermittlungseifer der vier Senioren natürlich geweckt, und selbst der Chefinspektor der lokalen Polizeidienststelle kann nur über ihren Scharfsinn staunen.

Do you know how many post boxes there are in the UK? Could you guess how many times the word 'goat' appear in the King James Version of the bible? Fancy playing a game of charades where all of the books, films and plays are entirely made up?

Now, look around the room. Is anyone there the kind of person who’ll say ‘I just don’t understand this’, when faced with something that’s not just perfectly easy to understand, but is ... well, fun?

Ask them to leave.

Have they gone? Good.
