Review: The Bullet That Missed: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery by Richard Osman


This series of books has quickly become a favorite of mine!

Such clever writing and well thought-out mysteries are a joy to read.  I fell in love with the characters because they remind me of my spunky grandparents!  Joyce’s first-person diary entries really put  you into the action as well as give you a good giggle about what this gang is up to.   There are no dull spaces in this story – it hooks you and keeps you right to the end!

These books continue to delight me, so I cannot wait to see what happens in the fourth story.

I would recommend this book series to any comedic mystery lover!

NOTE: Excuse all the exclamation points – but I am truly in love with these books.

Back Cover Copy of The Bullet That Missed:

It is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally be returning to normal. Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. A decade-old cold case—their favorite kind–leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers.

Then a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit. Her mission? Kill or be killed. Suddenly the cold case has become red hot.

While Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim chase down the clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?

From an upmarket spa to a prison cell complete with espresso machine to a luxury penthouse high in the sky, this third adventure of the Thursday Murder Club is full of the cleverness, intrigue, and irresistible charm that readers have come to expect from Richard Osman’s bestselling series.
