It is an ordinary Thursday and things should finally be returning to normal.

Then a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit. Her mission? Kill...or be killed.

As the cold case turns white hot, Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), while Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim chase down clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?

As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus?

But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn't bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians.

Man möchte meinen, so eine luxuriöse Seniorenresidenz in der idyllischen Grafschaft Kent sei ein friedlicher Ort. Das dachte auch die fast achtzigjährige Joyce, als sie in Coopers Chase einzog. Bis sie Elizabeth, Ron und Ibrahim kennenlernt oder, anders gesagt, eine ehemalige Geheimagentin, einen ehemaligen Gewerkschaftsführer und einen ehemaligen Psychiater. Sie wird Teil ihres Clubs, der sich immer donnerstags im Puzzlezimmer trifft, um ungelöste Kriminalfälle aufzuklären. Als dann direkt vor ihrer Haustür ein Mord verübt wird, ist der Ermittlungseifer der vier Senioren natürlich geweckt, und selbst der Chefinspektor der lokalen Polizeidienststelle kann nur über ihren Scharfsinn staunen.

En un pacífico complejo privado para jubilados, cuatro improbables amigos se reúnen una vez a la semana para revisar antiguos casos de asesinatos locales que quedaron sin resolver. Ellos son Ron, un exactivista socialista lleno de tatuajes y revolución; la dulce Joyce, una viuda que no es tan ingenua como aparenta; Ibrahim, un antiguo psiquiatra con una increíble capacidad de análisis, y la tremenda y enigmática Elizabeth, que, a sus 81 años, lidera el grupo de investigadores aficionados… o no tanto.

Cuando un promotor inmobiliario de la zona es hallado muerto con una misteriosa fotografía junto al cuerpo, El Club del Crimen de los Jueves se encuentra en medio de su primer caso real. Aunque sean octogenarios, los cuatro amigos guardan algunos trucos en la manga.

¿Podrá este grupo poco ortodoxo pero brillante atrapar al asesino?

O CLUBE DO CRIME DAS QUINTAS-FEIRAS ESTÁ DE VOLTA COM MAIS UM MISTÉRIO PARA SER RESOLVIDO... MAIS DE 3 MILHÕES DE EXEMPLARES VENDIDOS EM TODO O MUNDO

Mais uma quinta-feira como tantas outras, mas já sabemos que os problemas nunca ficam muito longe dos nossos detetives de O Clube do Crime das Quintas-Feiras. Desta vez os quatro idosos debruçam-se sobre um caso arquivado ocorrido uma década antes:

o assassinato de uma famosa jornalista do noticiário local, cuja investigação não encontrou nem o corpo, nem respostas.

No entretanto, Elisabeth está a ser chantageada por um inimigo misterioso: ou mata um velho desconhecido ou é ela que acaba morta. Enquanto Elisabeth lida com a sua consciência (e uma pistola), Joyce, Ron e Ibrahim tentam resolver o misterioso homicídio, com a ajuda de velhos e novos amigos. Mas conseguirá o quarteto de detetives resolver o caso e salvar Elisabeth, antes que o assassino volte a atacar?

Attention please! Der neue Fall für das scharfsinnigste, britischste und charmanteste Ermittlerteam der Krimigeschichte ist da

Im Puzzlezimmer der luxuriösen Seniorenresidenz Coopers Chase stapeln sich die Akten ungelöster Mordfälle. Und weil Joyce nun einmal ein Faible für Celebritys hat, ermittelt der Donnerstagsmordclub jetzt in dem Fall Bethany Waites. Die junge Journalistin nämlich war die Kollegin des attraktiven Anchormans der Lokalnachrichten und wurde vor fast zehn Jahren ermordet, weil sie den Strippenziehern eines riesigen Steuerbetrugs zu nahegekommen ist. Schneller als den Beteiligten lieb sein kann, wird aus dem cold case ein sehr heißer. Dann verschwindet auch noch Elizabeth und wird vor eine grausame Wahl gestellt: Töten oder getötet werden. Nicht, dass sie als ehemalige Geheimagentin keine Erfahrungen darin hätte, aber der Donnerstagsmordclub wäre nicht der Donnerstagsmordclub, wenn er keinen eleganteren Weg aus dieser Zwickmühle finden würde und ganz nebenbei die Bedrohung für seine Zwecke zu nutzen wüsste.
