About this deal

A gripping mystery thriller set in Ireland, The Book Club Murders is perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay. But after two women with close ties to the Agathas are brutally murdered, everyone falls under threat—and suspicion. A part of me had expected a closed-door mystery where the members of a book club are rounded up by a book-hating maniac, or maybe by someone who hated the book chosen for discussion. Together, they solve crimes in their home city of San Francisco, and often meet up to talk about clues and life over Mexican food and drinks at Susie's.

I loved how this starts off with a lovely, quiet, sleepy little seaside town, giving chilled cosy mystery vibes, but soon ramps up to being quite a dark and violent murder mystery. Some of the characters are downright foul and bitchy, which the character notes since this is a cozy that thankfully doesn’t shy away from colorful language or circumstances.Dimitri, the hair dresser and one of her best friends, is Charlie's staunch supporter and a real hero. This novel is probably not for you if you like something to get your teeth into, but it is an ideal choice for a book club and I can imagine many a lively discussion between sips of tea and nibbles of cake. 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 always enjoy getting in on the ground floor of a new series and this one gets off to a great start.

When her aunt’s neighbour invites Izzy to join their local book club, Izzy feels like it would be a great way of getting a fresh start.

I found The Book Club Murders to be an addictive read which I read at a breakneck pace and it’s definitely going to there as one of my favourite books of the year. He touches on accepting of oneself, others’ acceptance, telling a spouse and family, and what it’s like in the real world. Gorevan keeps the mystery alive as to who whether or not there is more than one murderer and who they may be! She very soon meets her neighbour Louise who invites her to join the book club and from there the story progresses through to the unbelievable ending.When Izzy O’Brien flees the city centre apartment she shared with her controlling partner, she relocates to the seaside town of Dun Laoghaire, and the house she inherited from her aunt. Of course, that puts Charlie squarely in the crosshairs of someone who will do anything - including kill again - to keep from being identified. At first I wasn't a fan of Marc's but as the story progressed he grew on me and I liked how the romance between him and Charley developed. From hospital murders to explosive court battles, the Women's Murder Club takes on their most harrowing challenge yet.

Tuck into this well-written and endearing cozy murder mystery, set in an upper-class suburban community where the veneer of civility is thin and verbal encounters are often knife-edged. I loved the backdrop of a community book club and its group of Agathas, especially how their reading list became connected to the murders. Not surprising then that the other eight women at the aforementioned book club meeting are immediately under suspicion.With Charley’s knowledge of the mystery books, she convinces the lead Detective Marcus Trenault to allow her to help with the murder investigations. It's a little hard to believe that the police, even in such a small town where everyone knows everyone else, would involve Charley in their investigation to the point that they did, but I was willing to overlook that for the sake of a good story.
