The Last Devil to Die
The Last Devil to Die: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery by Richard Osman, 3/5
This story contained some touching character development and I enjoyed how the author incorporated characters and references from previous books. I felt that the criminal-with-a-heart-of-gold archetype is getting a bit worn at this point in the series, but perhaps that is my fault for reading three Thursday Murder Club books in less than a week.
Why I read it: the fourth book in the series.
The Bullet that Missed
The Bullet that Missed: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery by Richard Osman, 4/5
This third installment in the series brings back some of the charm and wit that was missing from the second book, in my opinion.
Why I read it: the third book in the series.
The Man Who Died Twice
The Man Who Died Twice: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery by Richard Osman, 3/5
Enjoyable, though a bit less witty and charming than the first book in the series and featuring a more conventional, spy thriller plot.
Why I read it: the second in a series that started out very strong.
The Thursday Murder Club
The Thursday Murder Club: a novel by Richard Osman, 5/5
The only mystery left unsolved at the end of this charming, witty, and absolutely delightful novel is how something so polished and sparkling could be the author’s first. I read it in one day and didn’t handle distractions too gracefully, I’m afraid. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and I especially appreciated how the author took his time at the end instead of wrapping up too hastily.
Why I read it: Frustratingly, I can’t remember how I heard of this series.
