The Bullet That Missed

Thursday Murder Club, Book 3

By: Richard Osman

Narrated by: Fiona Shaw

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE THIRD NOVEL IN THE RECORD-BREAKING, MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING THURSDAY MURDER CLUB SERIES.

This audiobook in The Thursday Murder Club series is read by a new narrator, Fiona Shaw.

It is an ordinary Thursday and things should finally be returning to normal.

Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club is concerned. A decade-old cold case leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers.

Then a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit. Her mission? Kill...or be killed.

As the cold case turns white hot, Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), while Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim chase down clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?

Critic reviews

Humour is gently threaded through every element

Unlike the bullet, Richard Osman seems incapable of missing

Delivered with the sharp wit that we associate with Osman

Very interesting and lively.

I like it best in the series so far! just the right amount of complexity and fun for me!

Lovely characters have become annoying

I can’t finish the 3rd book. The lovely and funny characters in books 1 and 2 are now just annoying, as are the new characters. What a difference the narrator makes.

I love Richard’s books!

I certainly missed the narration of Lesley Manville, but didn’t mind Fiona as much as other reviewers.

The worst part about the whole thing is that it’s over now. I’ll have to start again from scratch until the 4th book comes out.

Great story, why change narrator?

I really love the series and this third book is no exception.
I will agree with other reviews commenting on the switch of narrators though. Fiona Shaw is not a bad narrator but the previous narrator did such a fabulous job of making the characters come alive that anyone would fall short of our expectations as listeners. It took me some time to come to terms with this switch which in the end impacted the listening experience a bit.

Writing is brilliant. Performance ditto. Love the characters

Was initially concerned at the change of Narrator. However, those fears were soon laid to rest.
