These three mysteries by Richard Osman involve the residents of an upscale retirement community. Elizabeth, a former spy, is friends with Joyce who writes diary entries. Ron and Ibrahim round out their Thursday Murder Club to discuss cold cases. The humor can't be beat and the plotting is fast and moves the stories along briskly.
The foursome are on the trail of more murder and this time diamonds are involved. Can they solve the crimes? Again, the laughs are included in this geriatric romp. Elizabeth's chess playing husband, Stephen, is increasingly forgetting things and this sweet romance adds a bittersweet touch. 
Former associates of Elizabeth's add zingers to this third book in the series. Elizabeth is told she must kill or be killed. Viktor of the Russian Cold War era really has a crush on her...when he is not trying to kill anyone. Ron has found Pauline, a makeup artist for the local tv news, and their visit to a massage parlor is worth the whole book!
