The cast are joined by a wonderful set of supporting characters. The scene where he has a couples massage with his new lady friend Pauline had me snorting tea through my nose. Ron is fantastic, a real man's man trying to negotiate his way through a very different world. Joyce is the heart of the story and it was fascinating to learn that Richard Osman's mum believes Joyce should be played by Pauline Collins. My favourite will always be Elizabeth (think Helen Mirren's character from RED), but I do have rather a soft spot for gentle Ibrahim, who sets about counselling a murderer and trying to be happy for his best friend, Ron, who has started a new relationship. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again? My Thoughtsįirst off let us talk about those wonderful characters. As the cold turns red hot, Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun) while Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim chase down clues with help from old friends and new. A decade-old cold case leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers. Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club is concerned. How would it fare? The Plot It is an ordinary Thursday and things should finally be returning to normal. The Bullet that Missed is the third in the series. It's cosy crime at its very best and with Osman's wonderful observations is laugh out loud funny. These four come together every Thursday to go through files and solve murders. A gentle psychiatrist, a resourceful ex MI6 spy, a firebrand Union leader and a man-mad kind lady called Joyce. Inspired he began writing The Thursday Murder Club, a novel about 4 very different characters.
A few years back Richard Osman visited an upmarket retirement village which offered a wide variety of clubs and activities. Just in case you have missed the anticipation, let me catch you up. Read my review of The Thursday Murder Club It's well deserved and is, of course, the hotly anticipated third book in the marvellous Thursday Murder Club series. I've already predicted what book will be on the end of year best books lists, and now I've gone all Septic Peg by predicting this year's bestseller.
