Pass the sausage rolls

 

 
"I was talking to a woman in Ruskin Court, and she said she's on a diet!" says Joyce, finishing her glass of wine.
"She's 82! Why diet at 82? What's a sausage roll going to do? Kill you?"


If you haven't discovered Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club mysteries, you're missing tales that would keep you amused while Louise Penny types her next Inspector Gamache.

Osmond's debut novel about murder-chasing oldsters got raves. His newest is superior to the first. Stephen Spielberg optioned both. Osmond's snappy dialogue is addicting.

“Stop repeating what I said last, Elizabeth. It’s a terrible habit of yours. That and adultery.”

Delightful.
