In een prettig en rustig bejaardenhuis vormen vier bewoners een onwaarschijnlijk clubje. Een keer per week, op de donderdag, ontmoeten ze elkaar om onopgeloste moorden te onderzoeken. Als een vastgoedontwikkelaar uit het nabijgelegen stadje wordt vermoord komt ‘de moordclub’ in actie; het is hun eerste grote zaak. Tot hun verbazing lijkt de moord alles te maken te hebben met hun eigen verzorgingshuis. De vier vrienden mogen dan wel behoorlijk op leeftijd zijn, ze hebben allemaal meer dan genoeg levenservaring. Maar zijn ze nog in staat om een moordenaar te vinden voor hij weer toeslaat?

Le Divorce meets The Elegance of the Hedgehog in this hilariously entertaining mega-bestseller from France When her chronically unemployed husband runs off to start a crocodile farm in Kenya with his mistress, Joséphine Cortès is left in an unhappy state of affairs. The mother of two—confident, beautiful teenage Hortense and shy, babyish Zoé—is forced to maintain a stable family life while making ends meet on her meager salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile, Joséphine’s charismatic sister Iris seems to have it all—a wealthy husband, gorgeous looks, and a très chic Paris address—but she dreams of bringing meaning back into her life. When Iris charms a famous publisher into offering her a lucrative deal for a twelfth-century romance, she offers her sister a deal of her own: Joséphine will write the novel and pocket all the proceeds, but the book will be published under Iris’s name. All is well—that is, until the book becomes the literary sensation of the season.

Through Andrea’s smart and disarming voice, the novel reveals a darkly comedic view of life at the top, far beyond what gossip columns suggest. From arranging for the latest Harry Potter book to be flown to Paris for Miranda’s children, to tracking down a vintage dresser admired by her boss, Andrea faces daily challenges that often extend late into the night. Despite the relentless demands, she remains focused on securing a recommendation from Miranda that could launch her career at any magazine. However, as the job's challenges escalate from unacceptable to outrageous, Andrea must confront whether the dream job is worth the toll it takes on her life and soul.
