In 2020, Richard Osman\u2019s The Thursday Murder Club<\/a> <\/em>was released, introducing the world to four residents of a high-end retirement home called Coopers Chase who use skills from their former careers to solve mysteries. There\u2019s Elizabeth, the steely former spy; Joyce, a retired nurse who can consult on medical matters; Ibrahim, who uses his psychiatry training for insight into suspects; and Ron, a one-time union leader who brings a bit of grit to the group. Since then, Thursday Murder Club <\/em>has expanded into a four-book series. (The Impossible Fortune<\/em><\/a>, coming out in September, will be the fifth installment.) Netflix\u2019s new film adaptation tells the story of the first group with a cast that includes Helen Mirren as Elizabeth, Celia Imrie as Joyce, Pierce Brosnan as Ron, and Ben Kingsley as Ibrahim.<\/p>\n

Just like the book, the movie has the four sleuths solving a crime that hits close to their shared home. When real estate developer Tony Curran (Geoff Bell) is murdered, it puts the future of Coopers Chase at risk of being turned into luxury apartments by developer Ian Ventham (David Tennant). There are some key changes, however, between the page and the screen. Below, we take a closer look at some of the differences.<\/p>\n

The Point of View<\/h2>\n

The Thursday Murder Club <\/em>alternates between the perspectives of all four club members as well as several other characters, but Joyce\u2019s first-person journal entries ground the whole story. In the film, Joyce\u2019s entry into the club ignites the plot but she doesn\u2019t narrate the story.<\/p>\n

Tony Curran\u2019s Death<\/h2>\n

In the movie, Joyce hears a news report about Tony\u2019s murder on the radio and rushes to tell the news everyone. In the book, however, Joyce learns about the crime when she gets a call from Elizabeth.<\/p>\n
