I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn’t stop listening to it. This was my second Richard Osman book, and once again it did not disappoint. Certain parts were deeply emotional and full of love—I truly felt them, and at times I couldn’t hold back my tears. The ending was a wonderful surprise, and the story flowed beautifully from start to finish. Thank you, Richard, for another unforgettable read.

Utterly brilliant read! I love Osman’s characters - each with his own quirks, each with her own vocabulary. I know them and love them - and that’s just the regulars. On come the gangsters, the swindlers and the wanna be’s…
On a sombre note in this book he more than touches on the distressing subject of Alzheimer’s disease, he inhabits it and moves us greatly.

A must read - or listen. Fiona Shaw’s narration is spot on!

Love these books and this is the best yet. Also enjoyed the narration more than ‘The bullet that missed’. Maybe I’m getting used to Fiona Shaw’s style. A very enjoyable audio book all round.

The Thursday Murder Club premise feels a little bit tired in this novel. The characters are great as ever, but the murder mystery isn't particularly compelling and the resolution is quite dull.
The only thing that kept me listening was the personal stories of the characters, in particular the heartbreaking and beautifully written plot about dementia, which made the silly antics and murder plot just seem farcical and unnecessary.

As always, Fiona Shaw is a brilliant narrator!
