Review: The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman (Thursday Murder Club #3)

The Bullet That Missed The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Thursday Murder Club (Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim) are at it again, meeting every Thursday to discuss and hopefully solve cold cases.  First of all there is a money laundering scheme where several people have died -- killed or suicide??  Next, Elizabeth and her husband Stephen are kidnapped by "The Viking" who threatens to kill Joyce if Elizabeth doesn't kill "The Russian."  The four retirees work together and separately to solve these mysteries, but not before a fair number of red herrings, bumbles, and cups of tea!  It's a fast paced cozy and you'll fall in love with camaraderie and friendship shared by these four.  

This is the third book in the series, and I think it's important to read them in order.  In addition, it's helpful to read them in close succession.  There are quite a few characters that appear in each of the books, and it was more almost two years since I read the second in the series and I lost track of some of the peripheral characters.

I'm looking forward to #4 in the series -- The Last Devil to Die -- and also viewing the movie on Netflix!
