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?

'Full of Osman's trademark charm, insight and intelligence' Lee Child
'Tender, hopeful and funny' Marian Keyes
'I adored this thrilling adventure. His best yet!' Claire Douglas
'Infectious, charming and full of heart' Gillian McAllister

Fantastic story and narration is top class.

I noticed a review complaining about a different narrator for this book. Don't worry, it's excellent. She even gets Bog Dan right. Now I'm ready for the film! 🥁

Yeah it's still great

The reality of a new narrator threw me, I'm not going to lie, but not to worry, two or three chapters in you're happily back with friends. Another solid outing for the fab four.

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.

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.

Humor

The character’s personalities are so endearing lifelike that they could be you sooner or later

Better then ever

Richard is really hitting straps now. The series is more delightful than ever thanks to fabulous characters and enjoyable plot and really quirky writing and humour.
