Hello all,
I am struggling to find other books like The Thursday Murder Club. They have humor, but it all revolves around a good murder mystery. Also, all of the characters are really likeable.
Searching on the internet I've tried Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone and did not like it. It's basically not true and the author contradicts himself several times while sticking to his claim of NOT being an unreliable narrator.
The other popular recommendation is Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice For Murderers which was so bad, I had to stop reading after a couple of chapters. Vera tampers with a murder scene, steals evidence, outlines the body, stages the whole shop and claims it is all to help the cops? She also seems so unperturbed by the murder that all she wants is to get the cops to drink her tea. WTF is this book? This was really terrible and I honestly don't know how it has such a high Goodreads rating.
If you have any recommendations, please let them have some form of humor and be a cozy murder mystery. Not anything dark. I'm also not really a fan of Agatha Christie, mainly because of the old-style writing so please skip Mrs. Marple and Poirot.
I apologize for being picky. These are just common threads that always come up in my searches so I'm trying to avoid hearing the same thing over again.

Tokarczuk’s Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead – for an existentially-driven thriller, it is surprisingly endearing / cozy and has quite a few humorous moments!
