The Traitor was fun to read even though it felt a bit unrealistic. Those aspects didn’t make it less enjoyable though. It was easy to read as I knew the characters and some of the situations from the previous book. The story is still mainly told by Emma. Emma is healed from her last outing […]
I love the characters in the Thursday Murder Club series. The main characters are seniors in their 70s in a home in England. The points of view vary but Joyce is always one of them writing in her journal. I was a bit frightened by how involved they got with the drug dealers who were […]
