The Bullet That Missed

The Bullet That Missed is the exhilarating third installment in Richard Osman's celebrated Thursday Murder Club series. This time, our favorite group of septuagenarian sleuths are back with more intrigue, humor, and compelling mystery than ever before.

It starts off as an ordinary Thursday for the Thursday Murder Club, but for this eccentric bunch, peace and quiet are never on the agenda. They find themselves embroiled in a cold case that has stumped authorities for over a decade. The case? A vanished journalist and a murder without a body, motive, or even a plausible explanation.

As the team delves deeper, they come across a local news legend entwined in enigmatic clues that reignite the frigid case. And just when they get their investigative wheels turning, Elizabeth encounters a new adversary with a deadly proposal: execute a high-stakes kill or face dire consequences herself.

While Elizabeth grapples with her own moral dilemmas and a loaded weapon, her friends Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim focus on unraveling the mystery, calling upon both familiar faces and new allies. Can the Thursday Murder Club outsmart their enigmatic foe and piece together the puzzle before it's too late for Elizabeth?

With Osman's signature wit and deft storytelling, The Bullet That Missed is not just a mystery novel but a tale of enduring friendship and the undying human spirit. Readers will find themselves flipping pages with a mix of suspense and delight, eager to join the club on another unforgettable adventure.
