Set in Australia. Delia is married with two grown up children. Her husband recently had a heart attack , retired from work and wants her to do the same so they can travel around the country for twelve months.
Delia works in a bank and loves her job. She realises she doesn’t want to retire or travel around in a motor home with him.
Looking for something different she is invited to join a local book club by a fellow worker and organised by an elderly celebrity/actress Karin.
She soon learns that elderly members have been dying suddenly and is convinced they are being murdered.
It is a fairly simple plot and I worked out early on who was the murderer.
3 Stars.

Celia Frost's life has changed. Ever since her husband had his heart attack she has been stressed. Her husband wants her to quit her job at the bank so that they can travel. She loves her job at the bank. She's not so keen on traveling across Australia in a motorhome.
Andrew a friend she's know for five years and a coworker suggests she should do something new. He tells her of a book club that is help at the town's celebrity's home. She decided to go.. all the women at the book club are older, feisty, gossipy and rather eccentric.
Celia is a down to earth character. Her worries and stresses are believable. The other characters add to her validity.
A good read.
Then she finds out the curse of the book club. Members of that club die.

Took me a short while to take to this but the more I read of this novel the more I liked it. By the end of the book I was wondering what other books had Jonelle Blake wrote.
