The Bullet That Missed: (The Thursday Murder Club 3)

Product Information

My favorite Thursday Murder Club to date, The Last Devil to Die gave me so many emotions and a riveting mystery to boot. Because of course, there is always more than one mystery to solve in these, and the little reveals at the end are usually even more fun than the BIG REVEAL. Richard’s debut novel, called “The Thursday Murder Club”, was released in the year 2020. His work is from the mystery genre. Viking Press acquired the rights to the novel for a seven-figure sum, in a ten publisher auction.

It was great to see Joyce come into her own, channeling her inner Elizabeth. I also loved the Murder Club's chutzpah as they dropped in to have tea with various criminals and then casually arranged for a luncheon summit including two drug lords and two art forgers.OMG! I want to get on the waitlist for an Apartment at Cooper’s Chase and join the Thursday Murder Club! The gang are investigating the death of an old friend of Stephen’s, an antique dealer. He had gotten mixed up in a drug import scheme through no fault of his own. As the story progresses, more folks end up dead. This, the title. As with the previous books, the plot is well thought out and I was caught flat footed trying to figure out who was behind the murders. If you haven't started on your journey with Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron, & Ibrahim, then I'd suggest you get a move on. Seriously. Go! This was an entertaining mystery, with more chaos and mayhem (hehe) than you'd expect old people to get themselves into. We see Joyce really come into her own here, stepping in for Elizabeth who is otherwise indisposed. I feel like all the side characters were particularly charming, and I even started to like Connie if you can believe it. We also have a little side mystery going on to catch an online scammer, just to add a bit of extra zing to the whole thing.

With films, of course, you're filming one every two years or so, so filming four [would mean] they're going to be eight years older than they were on film one. So the Hollywood thing, by and large, is that you get people you can age up a little bit. As the cold case turns white hot, Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), while Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim chase down clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?As the gang springs into action they encounter art forgers, online fraudsters and drug dealers, as well as heartache close to home. The Last Devil to Die is the perfect blend of chaos, intrigue, investigation, manipulation, humor and pain. I laughed. I cried. Stephen's letter is absolutely heart-wrenching. I read it several times, wanting to burn the words into my brain, never to be forgotten. Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. A decade-old cold case leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers. The Thursday Murder Club is so busy solving crimes that they don't even have time for their weekly meetings.
