Synopsis: The Thursday Murder Club is investigating a 10-year-old unsolved murder of a local newswoman. Meanwhile, Elizabeth is receiving threatening texts from an unknown number. 

Review: It’s hard to review books in a series wanting to avoid sharing any spoilers of previous books. Having said that, this is the 3rd book in this series & I think this is my favorite so far. 

In my opinion, the author has written well-developed & lovable characters when I think about the characters & become deeply sad that they are not real people somewhere doing all the things I just read about. Osman does this magnificently.

I don't know why it took me so long to read the third in this series but I'm glad I finally did because I had such a good time. It's the perfect mix of charming humour and intriguing mystery/thriller. I love all of the characters but I'm particularly attached to Bogdan. I listened to the audiobook which is so well narrated. I'm going to listen to the fourth one next because I want to spend more time with these characters immediately.
