Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
Eric Idle recommended this book on his website and who am I to gainsay Eric Idle?
It's a quirky British mystery set in an upscale old folks home. Some of the residents gather to go over old cold cases to see if they can solve them. Which is all well and good until a current murder happens in their midst. There is the omniscient narrator who tells the tale and then there is one of the residents who keeps a diary and gives her opinions.
There may be too many murders going on. And there may be too many suspects. But it works. The language is very good. Again it's mystery where the clues are kept from you so it's mostly guessing to see who done it. I can see this as something DM would watch on Masterpiece Theater.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
