The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman

 


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 local news legend is on the hunt for a sensational headline, and soon the gang are hot on the trail of two murders, ten years apart.

To make matters worse, a new nemesis pays Elizabeth a visit, presenting her with a deadly mission: kill or be killed...

While Elizabeth grapples with her conscience (and a gun), the gang and their unlikely new friends (including TV stars, money launderers and ex-KGB colonels) unravel a new mystery. But can they catch the culprit and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again? (Goodreads synopsis)

I absolutely adore this series! The characters are fantastic, and the reader feels as if they are just one of the gang. Joyce’s diary entries assist that feeling, as if we are a confidante. 

There is a lot of activity in this third installment. Blackmail, money laundering, murder, secret dating, and tv personalities. However, everything flows so smoothly and combines so well, that if one thing was missing then nothing would make sense.

The emotions are also high in this particular novel. I have been in Elizabeth’s shoes and it is extremely hard. I wanted to hold on to Stephen as Bogdan and Elizabeth did, and pray for him to stay with us a little while longer. Make sure you read from book 1 and then in order. Otherwise, you might not fully understand the relationships.

Overall I rate this novel 5 out of 5 stars.
