The Original - and best
Sep. 28th, 2025 07:49 pmBook Review: The Thursday Murder Club, by Richard Osman
First read in 2021, this was a re-read following the film adaptation.
I recall John Le Carré saying words to the effect that when your book is turned into a film or TV adaptation, you have to let go, and trust them to get on with it. It's sound advice. When this happens to a book, it's because it has been successful. But, inevitably, people who have read the book will compare the new rendition, and probably unfavourably.
