Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The unmissable new mystery in the Thursday Murder Club series from bestselling author Richard Osman, now streaming on Netflix

Who's got time to think about murder when there's a wedding to plan?

It’s been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favorite criminal.

But when Elizabeth meets Nick, a wedding guest asking for her help, she finds the thrill of the chase is ignited once again. And when Nick disappears without a trace, his cagey business partner becomes the gang’s next stop. It seems the duo have something valuable—something worth killing for.

Joyce’s daughter, Joanna, jumps into the fray to help the gang as they seek answers: Has someone kidnapped Nick? And what’s this uncrackable code they keep hearing about? Plunged back into action once more, can the four friends solve the puzzle and a murder in time?

    My friends are back; evolving and not remaining static. They are still delightful and offer me such a great escape from this serious and sometimes sad and scary world. I find myself rationing the chapters so I don’t finish too soon. I want to prolong my friendships with the Thursday murder club and others revolving around them as long as possible. Thoughtful, warm, funny and intriguing… I love these books.
  • Love, love,love

    Took me two days to read because I never wanted it to end. Osman writes such great stories but I need one a week. I don’t think he can do that. Highly recommend all his books. Hugs to a great storyteller and his fabulous characters.
