The Thursday Murder Club gang is back in Richard Osman's latest installment The Impossible Fortune (#1,357). Elizabeth is taking her first tentative steps outside herself after Stephen's death. And it comes just in time to help her friends at Coopers Chase as they face their own problems and threats.
While the gang are celebrating her daughter's wedding with Joyce (who is eagerly seeking out opportunities to introduce Paul as "my son-in-law"!), Elizabeth is approached by a guest who claims that someone is trying to kill him by planting a bomb on his car. Can she help? How could she not? The root of his problem is an impossible fortune - in bitcoin. Meanwhile, Ron and his entire family are in deadly peril from a hired assassin. As the Murder Club closes ranks around Ron's grandson Kendrick, a Club favorite, they also have to discover who is behind the deadly plot.
Such a pleasure to follow the gang's new adventure! I've also read and enjoyed Richard Osman's new series debut We Solve Murders, but the ensemble cast of the Thursday Murder Club is just so darn appealing. Growing older doesn't mean growing invisible! (Unless that helps you solve a mystery!). Keep them coming, Mr. Osman!
