This was a solid third book in the Thursday Murder Club series. If you've read books 1 and 2 and liked them, chances are you'll enjoy this too.
My one 'complaint' with Richard Osman's books is that the murder mystery plot feels a bit convoluted sometimes. It's not like a classic Arthur Conan Doyle story where the mystery is a puzzle the reader can solve if only they are clever enough. There's too much going on in the background.
That said, the fantastic characters carry the story through so it doesn't feel like a major problem. I still had a good time.
