The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman
Oct. 26th, 2025 08:08 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Who has time to think about murder when there’s a wedding to plan?
It’s been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favourite criminal.
But when Elizabeth meets a wedding guest who fears for their life, the thrill of the chase is ignited again. A villain wants access to an uncrackable code and will stop at nothing to get it.
Plunged back into their most explosive investigation yet, can the gang solve the puzzle and a murder in time?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 5th in Richard Osman’s THURSDAY MURDER CLUB is a welcome return for Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim. I particularly enjoyed seeing more of Ron’s character and his relationship with his children and also Joyce’s uneasy relationship with Joanna with new son-in-law Paul proving an interesting addition to the cast. However the mystery itself was underpowered and the way Osman pulls the various strands together was a little hand wavy at the end.
