The Bullet that missed

Autor: Richard Osman

The third installment in  Thursday Murder Club series. The book follows the four elderly amateur sleuths—Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim—who reside in the peaceful Cooper’s Chase retirement village. The group decides to investigate a decade-old cold case: the disappearance of Bethany Waits, a local television journalist who vanished while looking into a multi-million-dollar VAT fraud scheme. Her car was found at the bottom of a cliff, but her body was never recovered.   Simultaneously, a new and dangerous foe, a mysterious “Viking” from Elizabeth’s past, gives her a deadly ultimatum: kill a former KGB agent named Viktor, or those she loves will be harmed. This creates a high-stakes, action-packed adventure that takes the club from an upmarket spa to a luxury penthouse, as they try to solve the cold case and save Elizabeth before it’s too late.
