My Review
Murder Movie Club: Murder on a Monday is the start of a new series. It is about a disparate group of people (mostly senior citizens and one young single mother) who get together monthly to watch a mystery movie at the local movie theater, stopping it mid-way to solve the mystery. Then a mystery happens in real life. A young man working at the movie theater is murdered and they set out to solve the mystery.
I wanted to read this book because I love cozy mysteries. I also enjoy movies and thought the premise was fun.
This is a very unique mystery - the cast of characters is so quirky and they don't get along at all initially! They do learn to work together to solve the mystery though.
I enjoyed the movie theater and the setting (a small town in Michigan). It was fun starting a new series and getting to know all the characters through the first book.
The mystery was straightforward, with a short list of suspects. The book is short and the writing features some humor and lively dialogue, so this was a very quick read.
I recommend Murder Movie Club: Murder on a Monday for other fans of cozy mysteries, and especially for anyone who enjoys a quirky, small town story.
Book Synopsis
Murder: best served with popcorn.
That’s the mantra for the members of the Monthly Murder Movie Club at The Northwoods Movie Theater. Every month, this eclectic group of northern Michigan residents gather to watch a murder mystery movie on the big screen. After stopping the projector in the middle of the movie, the members gather to discuss the crime and suspects, each making a whodunit pick before resuming the movie. The hair dresser with the scissors? The jilted lover with poison?
But nothing is normal on this Monday morning when the club members find the ticket-taking popcorn maker John E. Cash in the lobby of the theater, deader than any actor in their beloved movies. Using their unique talents and eccentricities, the Monthly Murder Movie Club members work collectively to solve the crime before the Northwoods Police force does. Members strive to protect the reputation of their beloved theater–and to protect their Monday meetings–because what each member is discovering is that there is so much more to their Monday club than a good old-fashioned murder mystery.
Found family, new friends, and murder investigations!
