A very poignant and touching book, and probably the most emotional of the whole series. This time, murder hits much closer to home as a friend of Stephen’s has been murdered.
With their trademark forthrightness and humor, Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron, and Ibrahim stick their noses where they don’t belong, and are soon caught up in the world of heroin dealers, antiques, and fake art.
Elizabeth’s husband is sinking further into dementia, and has already laid plans for when this happens. With Elizabeth largely indisposed, Joyce takes over the lead in driving the investigation, and really comes into her own.
A well and fitting end to the Thursday Murder Club series, as the author has said he is now moving on from Cooper’s Chase to other stories.
