Their impetus doesn’t come from solving the crime or escaping from danger – it comes from enjoying the Thursday Murder Club (and especially Joyce, who is obviously the best of them) deal with everything that’s thrown in their path with panache and aplomb, be it cryptocurrencies or hitmen.

Neuware -A new mystery is afoot in the third book in the Thursday Murder Club series from record-breaking, bestselling author Richard Osman. And it is easy to be cynical about Osman’s success as an author – he was, after all, the well-known co-host of the hugely popular Pointless TV quiz when his debut came out and his publisher will have thrown enough money behind the novel to guarantee it a place in the book charts. A cold case from the past leads the gang to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers. That’s a high bar to set from the get-go, but Osman has easily achieved it in subsequent books… This book is as delightful as the others. A local news legend is on the hunt for an exciting new headline and our Thursday Murder Club favourites are soon on the trail of two murders that occurred ten years apart.His first three novels, The Thursday Murder Club, The Man Who Died Twice and The Bullet That Missed were multi-million-copy record-breaking bestsellers around the world. Richard Osman’s engaging series about a group of crime-solving retirees has delighted readers since the first book. As the cold case turns red hot, Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience, while Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim chase down clues with help from old friends and new. As the cold case turns white hot, Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), while Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim chase down clues with help from old friends and new.
