Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty, but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer before it's too late? The Man Who Died Twice It's the following Thursday. Elizabeth received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she had a long history. He's made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a genuine threat to his life. As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds, too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus? But this time, they are up against an enemy who wouldn't bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. Can the Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them? The Bullet That Missed It is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally return to normal. Except trouble is never far from where the Thursday Murder Club is concerned. A decade-old cold case 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. 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 and new friends. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again? Don't miss out on the suspenseful adventures of the Thursday Murder Club. Grab your set now and immerse yourself in the cleverly crafted mysteries by Richard Osman. Join the club and experience the excitement of solving crimes alongside these unforgettable characters.
