The Bullet That Missed: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery

I have never read a book series so quickly and enjoyed it so absolutely thoroughly!!! Ditto all of this for my mom. His writing is engaging, so darn funny, and brilliant. The characters become your friends. And the mysteries keep you engaged til the end. I can’t wait to read them all again asap. And keep them on my shelf, which is a big compliment.

I first encountered Richard Osman when my granddaughter, the English teacher, suggested that I would like “We Solve Murders”. As usual, she was right. That book was both hilarious and heartwarming; I loved it! So of course I bought the Thursday Murder Club books. Reading these, I laugh out loud, and the cats have finally adjusted to the cackling and have returned to my lap. But beyond that dry British humour, these are books that reach the heart, about characters who grow and learn and love. The plots are wonderfully complex, and the give and take among the characters is delightful. I’m about to start the fourth book, Mr. Osman; I hope you are chained to your computer writing more!

I am really enjoying the Thursday Murder Club. This is another interesting book with a good mystery and fantastic characters.

I LOVED this series. I am just finishing book three and have purchased book four. I am a bit sad that book four is the last book in the series so far. I normally read when I go to bed and usually fall asleep after reading about four pages of other books. This series keeps me awake reading because I can't wait to see what the story plot is going to reveal next. The characters in this series are each delightful and Mr. Osman has done a superb job of character development for everyone in his story. I love how there are so many surprises in each book. I have not enjoyed a series this much in a very long time. BRAVO to Mr. Osman for writing such an entertaining series. I could never figure out "who done it" in any of his books (and I'm usually very good at figuring out the villain). I am so looking forward to more adventures of the Thursday Murder Club in the future.

Absolutely the best narrated mystery I have heard since I read/heard the first and second books in this series!The characters are now BFF's, and I root for them at every turn.This book has so many twists, turns and twists again, and at the end it all is revealed.I had no idea who the murderer was, nor why, but it all made sense in the end.Richard Osman? Brilliant!!!...Simply brilliant!!!I was missing narrator Lesley Manville at first, but when I realized that actress Fiona Shaw is the narrator of this book, I got into it, and I can truly say I loved the way she acted it.I will be listening to the fourth book in the series: The Last Devil to Die, and on September 17th., I will start listening to We Solve Murders, the fifth book's publication date!

Delightful read! This series is so uplifting and fun to read. Not only are these myriad characters unique and well developed, you just fall in love with each of them. And with this installment we have some new interesting players in the mix.As an octogenarian, I genuinely appreciate these “old folks” being so savvy, smart, courageous, fun and funny. This is story telling at its finest without being ostentatious.This series hits all the boxes for an entertaining story and mystery.

“It’s the people, in the end, isn’t it?” says Viktor. “It’s always the people. You can move halfway around the world to find your perfect life, move to Australia if you like, but it always comes down to the people you meet.”✨✨In the third Thursday Murder Club book a decade old murder cold case with no body has caught the attention of our favorite retirees. If that’s not enough excitement, Elizabeth is being tasked with murdering a man or else Joyce’s life will be on the line. The crew will lead us to a slew of interesting locations and individuals as they attempt to solve the case.✨✨Osman has once again shown his prowess as blending seemingly unlinked story lines into one cohesive novel. This has continued to be one of my favorite aspects of the Thursday Murder Club books — seeing how all of the loose threads get resolved. Although, while enjoyable, I do feel like the overall plot wasn’t as good as the previous two books. With that said, the characters themselves continue to shine and sell the series. I love seeing what mayhem the retirees manage to find themselves in all while battling modern technologies. While not one of the core four, Bogden has easily become one of my favorite if not favorite characters. Joyce is my other favorite. Her interactions are always funny and wholesome. In this particular installment, her interactions with the Viking are just perfect. If you’re a fan of murder mysteries, this series is definitely work checking out.

Start with #1 and enjoy the ride. This series if fun, funny, suspenseful, and very well written. The characters are charming and likable. I could go on and on. And seriously, start with the first book, you don’t want to miss a thing.

This is such rollicking good fun. Richard Oscan is not a senior but he understands them very well. It is so enjoyable to realize that( us) still have our marbles and can contributre to society. The plots are intricate and the characters well formed. An excellent read for anyone but especially those seventy plus

Leitura gostosa e leve, segue mesma linha dos 2 primeiros.

Characters as wonderful as ever. The new characters Viktor and Henrick are brilliant. I really liked the plot and its twists. I love the humour too.

I found the book extremely enjoyable and cosy. Absolutely great read. I have read / enjoyed all 3 versions now - Audible, kindle and paperback (where paperback was a gift from someone possibly not purchased from Amazon)

love this Murder series, this one is as good as other books from murder club. very enjoyable read
