Gary Thorn goes for a pint with a work acquaintance called Brendan. When Brendan leaves early, Gary meets a girl in the pub. He doesn’t catch her name, but falls for her anyway. When she suddenly disappears without saying goodbye, all Gary has to remember her by is the book she was reading: The Satsuma Complex. But when Brendan goes missing, Gary needs to track down the girl he now calls Satsuma to get some answers. And so begins Gary’s quest, through the estates and pie shops of South London, to finally bring some love and excitement into his unremarkable life.

I imagine this book will divide opinion somewhat but I reckon if you enjoy his stories on ‘Would I Lie To You’ then you’re probably in safe hands. It’s a simple story but delivered in a typically imaginative and slightly abstract way - the turn of phrase will also be familiar to his fans. Oh and train guy kind of makes an appearance!

In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved killings. But when a local property developer shows up dead, 'The Thursday Murder Club' finds themselves in the middle of their first live case. The four friends, Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron, might be octogenarians, but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer, before it's too late?

I wasn’t sure for the first few chapters but I stuck with it and the story developed really nicely. Ok the strokes are a bit broad (Ian Ventham is really 2-D) but the nuanced plot snakes around to great effect, keeping you guessing til the end.
