The resolution of the main murder investigation was also not very predictable to me.I missed episode two of the Thursday Murder Club, but I don’t think it caused me too much issue with following The Bullet That Missed (book 3). I bet you cannot predict how Elisabeth’s “to kill or be killed” dilemma went and whom exactly she was supposed to be killing. “Yes and no,” says Joyce, then looks straight at Elizabeth. “Your friend keeling over twenty minutes into the recording?” “Must have been a bit of a shock for you too?” says the paramedic.
“She’s not spoiling anyone’s fun, is she?” “Not a bit of it,” says the paramedic, turning to Joyce. I’m elderly, you see.”Įlizabeth tries to sit up, but the paramedic is having none of it. I think it’s because they don’t let you have any food. “A silly old woman spoiling everyone’s fun. They were all great fun and at this time of their lives they all have fully formed personalities so I don’t expect major changes, but it is always nice to get some character development.Īnd Joyce remained as funny as she was in the previous books and Elisabeth was not too far behind her. I liked that Ibrahim showed off some more of his skills related to his former profession as well. I am not talking about something huge happening to her which would completely change her world view, but I think she realized some things about herself and what she is capable of. I think that out of our four fearless investigators Joyce had the most character development going. I was happily nodding my head while I was reading and even when I was done, those plot twists did not annoy me. I have to say that some level of absurdity in some plot twists was definitely there, but I swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. The continuous adventures of Elisabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron are very entertaining while also dealing with some serious things which involve aging. I am actually wondering if this one could be called a cozy, and no, I cannot explain why I am pondering this without revealing some spoilers. This is the third book in this series and so far for me the books are getting only better, which is very encouraging to me.
But can they catch the culprit and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again? 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. To make matters worse, a new nemesis pays Elizabeth a visit, presenting her with a deadly mission: kill or be killed… 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. It is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally be returning to normal.Įxcept trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned.
