Thursday Murder Club casting news!

https://deadline.com/2024/04/helen-mirren-pierce-brosnan-ben-kingsley-thursday-m...

Thoughts? IMO Mirren and Kingsley are great choices, but Brosnan is not AT ALL how I picture Ron.

TrishB lol! Had this discussion today - everyone thought that about Ron! 8h
TheKidUpstairs @TrishB it seems like such an odd choice! When I saw him, I thought he was maybe playing Stephen, no way can I picture him as Ron. I've still got my fingers crossed for Penelope Wilton as Joyce! 7h
Ruthiella Helen Mirren is how I pictured Elizabeth already! But yeah, I pictured Ron as more of a bruiser. Remington Steele is too pretty. 6h
TheKidUpstairs @Ruthiella He's way too pretty. Wasn't Ron a former boxer? Brosnan doesn't look like he's taken enough punches 😂 4h
Ruthiella @TheKidUpstairs His son is a boxer. Ron was a labor organizer. I don‘t remember his profession, but it was something working class. (edited) 3h

My daughter is willing to try this as a summer buddy read with me. Looks like a good pacey vacation YA thriller. Plus it‘s a trilogy, in the event we like it.

I‘m still working on my son to pick a book ……🤞🏾

Read4life My daughter and I enjoyed this one! 2d
Tamra @Read4life glad to know! My daughter is a reluctant reader, so I‘m hoping a thriller will keep her attention. We also are thinking about this one, since we have a copy. 1d
Read4life That‘s another book we read together and loved. 1d

Read4life For the first book, we ended up reading (and liking) the series. For the second, we watched the movie together when it came out. Both were great experiences. I hope you two have fun buddy reading. My daughter and I continue to buddy read even while she‘s away at school. 1d
Tamra @Read4life yay! I will tell her. 1d
Tamra @Read4life that is so nice - I would love that too. We‘ll look for the movies. 😁 1d
jlhammar That‘s awesome! 1d
rwmg Did your son reject the tagged book or would you rather have a different book for each child? 1d
Tamra @rwmg he said he‘d like to read something relating to WWII, so I‘m encouraging him to pick a book he‘s interested in. (edited) 1d
Cathythoughts Great stuff 👏🏻👏🏻😁 22h

A murdery audiobook needs a murdery @FrostbeardMPLS candle 🕯️ Nearly finished with this one and just how I felt when I read the first one I feel like I need more Australian author recs 😄

Bookzombie I really enjoyed this 4 book series. I listened to them on audio. Not as funny as the Ernest books, more dark like a Jane Harper book. 2d
MatchlessMarie @Bookzombie thanks for the rec! 🙏 18h

I enjoyed this one though I had the first big surprise figured out well before it was revealed. The rest of them that followed snuck up on me however! A good story with nods to age old classics like Christie, and certainly worth the time. Not my favorite read, but an all around fun whodunnit/whydunnit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Horowitz‘ Hawthorn series, in which the author is a character, is fun fluff. In each book, Tony the character and the reader learn a little bit more about the reclusive detective. In this one, Tony is accused of murdering a critic who gave his play a bad review and while he was hoping to cut ties with Hawthorn, now he desperately needs his help to prove his innocence.

Ruthiella @BiblioLitten You will probably also enjoy his Hawthorne series also! I also liked Magpie Murders and 1w
