Description
The third installment in the beloved and New York Times bestselling series from Richard Osman, now streaming on Netflix
“The quartet of aging amateur sleuths…remain wonderful company.” —The New York Times Book Review
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.
“The Bullet That Missed hits on every front.” —the Wall Street Journal

Bravo!
5By zyx cbaGreat read! Looking forward to the next book in the series. Intriguing story and a page turner.Loved it
5By L&J05.31.13Great reading couldn’t put it downTricky
5By yearwoodjYou know how, in some books, you figure out the villain early on? Not so here. The Viking, you think, is the ogre, but no. Quite an unexpected revelation at the end, with a restored KGB kingpin, the inimitable Joyce Medication, and of course Elizabeth Best outfoxing everyone. Loved it.Very stupid change of characters
2By Youbek123…Great!

5By Buddybuddy86Love this series.Only avid readers need apply
5By OldgeekerWhen you wish you could meet and live with the characters in a book, the author is a master of his craft. When you a bit surprised at who dunnit, without being angry that the plot sprung it on you that’s good writing. When you don’t have to skim to avoid tedious description, that’s good writing. “Well written, well crafted, engaging fun and satisfying.” — Final answerClever, intelligent, fun, charming characters, and plot twists! What’s not to love?

5By grandmajoanneGreat characters! I miss them already. This has some very “laugh out loud moments” where I find my husband rolling his eyes at me. Very clever plots in all three books of the series. I hope you keep Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron, and Ibrahim around for more adventures!Delightful
5By solve4lifeAnother clever, funny, and heartfelt book. The friendships ring true, the mystery is engaging, and every chapter made me laugh out loud.Incredibly enjoyable read

5By carocrossLove these books and every character. Even the bad guys! Highly recommend for a fun read and good story. Need to be on screen! Another whole year to wait for a new one. Sad.Can’t wait for the next one!
5By GaCloserThe writing style, the characters - one of my favorite series. Hooked! Describing how Ron trying to put lid on coffee cup just nailed the way each character has strengths and weaknesses.The Bullet that Missed
5By Pearl2GoThis series gets better and better! If you like British mystery, solid characters with a twist, great humor with a side of real life this series is for you! I also appreciate great writing without being dependent on curse words (thank you)! Adore the characters and one could only hope to run with this gang in out 70’s!Simply wonderful
