Book 1: The Thursday Night Murder Club
A small, remote town in the middle of nowhere, Cooper's Chase is a cosy, well-respected retirement community.
The small town of Cooper's Chase, far from the bustling metropolis, is a cosy retirement community for respected pensioners. No worries, no bad weather, a complete idyll. Every Thursday, four old men gather in the recreation room to... discuss old unsolved murders, of course. At least, that is until one of the locals turns up dead - and now the Thursday Murder Club is embarking on its first real investigation. Age is no match for their zeal, as it's time to dig into old graves and shed light on other people's demons! And although none of the amateur detectives suspect it yet, the deeper they dig, the more they will bring their own secrets to the surface.
Book 2. The Man Who Died Twice
Having successfully solved the previous case, the irrepressible Thursday Night Murder Club has no plans to rest on their laurels. But they wouldn't be able to, because Elizabeth receives a letter - a not-so-welcome greeting from the past. Before they know it, the eccentric pensioners are drawn into a new mystery. It involves a robbed criminal who is very much in love with his garden, British counterintelligence, a classically tough Colombian cartel... as well as friendship bracelets, daisies and oatmeal bars. But most importantly, there are missing diamonds worth twenty million pounds. How can you resist and not plunge into the investigation?
But this time the games can quickly end, because the mystery is accompanied by cynical murders. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron, with the help of their friends in the police, have to figure it all out - if only it wasn't too late.
The novel is based on the memoirs of a prisoner of the Krakow ghetto, condemned to death and saved by Schindler.
A successful businessman Oskar Schindler opens a crockery factory in Krakow. For him, Jews from the ghetto and the Plaszów camp are just cheap labour. However, he soon comes to have boundless respect and compassion for his workers. When the people from Plaszów begin to be transported to Auschwitz, Oskar, with the help of his friend Itzhak Stern, compiles a list of those he is supposed to take to the factory. It includes over a thousand people doomed to death. To save them, Schindler spared no expense, no effort, no time.
