This audiobook in The Thursday Murder Club series is read by a new narrator, Fiona Shaw.
A new mystery is afoot in the third book in the Thursday Murder Club series from record-breaking, bestselling author Richard Osman.
This audiobook includes an exclusive interview between Richard Osman and journalist and TV presenter Steph McGovern.
It is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally be returning to normal.
Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. A local news legend is on the hunt for a sensational headline, and soon the gang are hot on the trail of two murders, ten years apart.
To make matters worse, a new nemesis pays Elizabeth a visit, presenting her with a deadly mission: kill or be killed...
While Elizabeth grapples with her conscience (and a gun), the gang and their unlikely new friends (including TV stars, money launderers and ex-KGB colonels) unravel a new mystery. But can they catch the culprit and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The crime-cracking residents of Cooper’s Chase retirement village are back—and third time around, the stakes are even higher for Richard Osman’s ageing amateur detectives. A drug baron is plotting deadly vengeance. A powerful gangster wants his diamonds back and is prepared to kill to get them. Our unlikely sleuths are soon caught up in a tangled web of spies, smugglers, blackmailers and money launderers. Somehow in the midst of all this intrigue, they’re also investigating the unsolved murder of a local reporter—except their prime suspects keep dying in dodgy circumstances. The body count climbs. Plot twists keep coming. Supporting characters from the first two books return, fleshing out Osman’s richly realised fictional world. New arrivals include an Alan Partridge-alike TV presenter, a rock ’n’ roll make-up artist and scene-stealer Joyce’s new dog. Osman is an astute chronicler of loss, loneliness and the idiosyncrasies of the elderly—but combines such home-spun wisdom with modern touches. Cryptocurrency and Instagram provide crucial plot points. There are sweet romantic subplots but this is ultimately a paean to the power of friendship. Wryly funny, ingeniously plotted, and another silver-haired hit.
Customer Reviews
Loved it
Absolutely love this series, such easy reading (listening) and think this one might be the best so far. And Fiona Shaw’s narration is just as good as Leslie’s - bravo!
Great book
Loved the book
Shame they had to change the narrator though, she has a very airy/whispery voice that makes it quite hard to focus on the book
Disaster change of narrator!
Why change a narrator after the first 2 books of a series? All the voices/characters have changed, no continuity…really disappointed! And if this is to cut costs, shame on you Richard Osman.
