Ran out of reading material on the trip so grabbed a title I'd vaguely heard of: "The Thursday Murder Club," by Richard Osman.
It's about a retirement community group of crime solvers.
I don't recognize any of these old coots, even though I'm the same age as some of them. They're all endearingly quirky, but they seem like what a middle-aged man imagines old people to be like. Sure enough, the author is 52. He has a glimmer, maybe.
Then again, I've never felt like the rest of my age group, ever. The idea that people would choose a retirement community is amazing to me. I can't imagine.
I'm also a little tired of CUTE narrative voices.
Going to finish it, but next trip I'll bring more books.

All right, I admit, I'm coming around. He's committed to his characters and that's working. Not really a fair mystery since he's giving us information too late for us to figure anything out, and I still think it is a bit of book for people who really don't like reading all that much, but it's a fun read over all.
