Once again a Thursday Murder Club has me cackling and crying constantly throughout. 


Also not long after reading this I actually ate at a Wimpy and all I could think about was Joyce.

This is definitely my favourite 'Thursday Murder Club' book to date and I am highly anticipating the fourth one! I thought this one had a really great plot and I had not managed to work out who the killer was (although I don't read a lot of crime books so unsure if my inexperience with them contributed to this!). 

One thing I felt really came together well in this book was the interaction between all of the characters. I feel as though we really know the characters now and whilst Elizabeth's past life is not fully known still, it was certainly given more attention to in this book. I was disheartened that we did not see more of Donna and Chris, but I still liked their respective involvement in the story. 

In terms of story writing, I thought it was told really well and the chapters were nice and short, as well as really easy to read and I absolutely flew through this. I felt it was funny in the most appropriate places, and leads of suspects were placed well throughout the book. I have loved the other two books in the series so far, but this certainly was the one in which I felt everything came together more smoothly. Coupled with the interaction and familiarity of characters, this made this by far my favourite.

I feel like Richard Osman is hitting his stride with this books. He weaves multiple storylines while keeping the characters just as rich, funny and loveable as ever. I love reading this series and I can't wait for the next one to come out.

All the Thursday Murder Club books are great and this is no exception. I love our murder hunting elder crew. It was nice to get a few new characters too. I will definitely always plan to read these books. I can never guess how they will end and I love how the truth finally comes out in the end.
