About this item

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A new mystery is afoot in the third book in the Thursday Murder Club series from million-copy bestselling author Richard Osman.

"The quartet of aging amateur sleuths...remain wonderful company," —the New York Times Book Review

"The Bullet That Missed hits on every front." —the Wall Street JournalIt is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally be returning to normal. Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. A decade-old cold case—their favorite kind--leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers.

Then a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit. Her mission? Kill or be killed. Suddenly the cold case has become red hot.

While Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim chase down the clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?

From an upmarket spa to a prison cell complete with espresso machine to a luxury penthouse high in the sky, this third adventure of the Thursday Murder Club is full of the cleverness, intrigue, and irresistible charm that readers have come to expect from Richard Osman's bestselling series.

The Bullet that Missed is written by Richard Osman. It is Book #3 in the Thursday Murder Club Mystery series.
A local, decade-old, cold case leads the Thursday Murder Club to a local news celebrity. But there is no body and very few, if any, leads.
This is a brilliant, funny, charming, intelligent and interesting mystery series - The Thursday Murder Club.
Book #3 The Bullet that Missed introduces us to several ‘new’ friends who fit in nicely with the original ‘Gang of Four’ - Elizabeth, Ron, Joyce & Ibrahim.
I couldn’t put the book down! *****

5.0 out of 5 stars I’ve Just Figure it Out!

The plots are increasingly convoluted and far-fetched, but I’ve just figured out the immense appeal of “The Thursday Murder Club” books: the characters are so damn likable that it doesn’t actually matter that the plots are increasingly convoluted and far-fetched!
This is a group of septuagenarians that you’d absolutely want to hang out with!

Osman has done it again. You never know who the murderer is until almost the ending, and then he adds a few more surprises. The characters are easy to like as they collaborate in solving an old murder and preventing a new one.

I haven’t read this one yet but I love this author. My friend introduced me to him and I have bought at least 2 more of his books and I hope he keeps writing because I totally enjoy all his characters

Delightful read! This series is so uplifting and fun to read. Not only are these myriad characters unique and well developed, you just fall in love with each of them. And with this installment we have some new interesting players in the mix.
As an octogenarian, I genuinely appreciate these “old folks” being so savvy, smart, courageous, fun and funny. This is story telling at its finest without being ostentatious.

This series hits all the boxes for an entertaining story and mystery.

These characters are all so lovely yet complex. The mysteries are very intriguing but successfully told without the use of blood and gore. I'm definitely going to continue reading the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheaply produced book
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024
The story is great. The actual book is very poorly made. The font and the size of the font changes from chapter to chapter. The paper doesn’t have a good feel to it. It’s rough.
