Summary

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.

Featuring an exclusive conversation between Richard Osman and award-winning presenter Steph McGovern at the end of the audiobook.

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

Loved the story as usual and the new narrator tried really hard but just not the same. The comedic elements just didn’t come across in the same way.
Would love to see it re-recorded by Leslie - would purchase again with her reading.

Great story - Missed Leslie

Story is fantastic - love it. But honestly it’s far from as good as it could be with the change in narration. It’s always a blow when they do that part way through a series, but in this case when Leslie was so so good, it’s close to impossible to listen to. Had to grit my teeth to get through it.
She brought so much more colour to the characters and life to the story, and I’m gutted that they changed.

PS. Probably would have been fine if we had Fiona Shaw from the start, but you can’t unhear Leslie doing Donna’s or Jason’s accent.

Leslie Manville 😭
