OLD AGE AND TREACHERY!LIKE RICHARD OSMAN'S THURSDAY MURDER CLUB THESE FOLKS SCARE BAD MEN AROUND THE WORLD!Independent Reviews from Goodreads and Amazon readers in the U.S. and the UKThis book is part police procedural and part daytime drama and part suspense thriller and just a little bit of a spy-related story. Lots of different pieces that together made for one very, very enjoyable adventure.....A great plot with some nice twists and turns. The characters were likeable. I think I know.some of these people. I will read more from this author.....The first of Richard Powell's Bridge Club series is permanently on my list of favorites. The characters created are exactly like the people next door, only they live secret lives that make them extraordinary. You'll be guessing, cheering, and laughing right down to the last word....
