Deze serie volgt een groep scherpe en eigenzinnige gepensioneerden die samenkomen in een luxe seniorenresidentie om onopgeloste moordzaken op te lossen voor de lol. Hun onconventionele methoden en unieke benadering van onderzoek, samen met de warme vriendschappen die ze sluiten, maken hen tot onvergetelijke protagonisten. Elk mysterie zit vol humor, onverwachte plotwendingen en diepgaande inzichten in de menselijke natuur.
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?
It's the following Thursday. Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He's made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very real threat to his life. As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus? But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn't bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. Can The Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them?
It is an ordinary Thursday and things should finally be returning to normal. Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club is concerned. A decade-old cold case leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers. Then, a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit. Her mission? Kill . . . or be killed. As the cold case turns white hot, Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), while Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim chase down clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?
