In a sleepy retirement village, the last place where anything exciting happens, a gang forms: four elderly people meet every week in the puzzle room to discuss unsolved past crimes. They have no real pretensions, just a desire to keep the brain working. They call themselves the "Thursday Murder Club". And then something happens that no one expected: a real, violent and cruel murder! And another of the contractor who built the retirement village. Someone hit his head with a blunt object and left a mysterious image next to his body. The members of the murder club can't believe their good luck: they finally find themselves at the center of a murder case alive and kicking. The police work slowly, and the bodies pile up fast. Will the brilliant gang manage to catch the killer before it's too late? And sorry, what is "too late" really? Thursday Murder Club was a resounding success upon its release in the UK. The reviews praised, the translation rights were sold to about 30 countries and Steven Spielberg's production company acquired the production rights to the film.
