“Part of the beauty of this series is that one book leads into the next without any contrivances. This book is a dash darker and grittier than the previous ones. It examines the imperfect things we do for the people we love, and the sacrifices we make. It reminds us to be true to ourselves, and to not take life for granted. The mystery is full of new twists and turns in unexpected directions. The book is full of all the wit and cleverness, humor and tenderness of the previous ones. Most importantly it is an incredibly fun read, and there is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself while spending time with these fantastic characters.”

“The Thursday Murder Club is back at the sleuthing game! In The Bullet That Missed, Richard Osman’s quartet of amateur detectives at the Cooper’s Chase retirement village are as funny and endearing as ever, this time the focus of death threats as they dig into a cold case with no body. Osman combines humor with a great mystery, plenty of witty English banter, and a love interest for rough-around-the-edges Ron. I can't wait for the 4th book in the series!”

“I blazed through this. Unputdownable! I laughed, I gasped, and just when I thought I could relax, one more twist would come out of the woodwork.”

The third installment in the beloved and New York Times bestselling series from Richard Osman, also author of We Solve Murders
“The quartet of aging amateur sleuths…remain wonderful company.” —The New York Times Book Review
It is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally be returning to normal. Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. A decade-old cold case—their favorite kind--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. Suddenly the cold case has become red hot.
While Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim chase down the clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?
From an upmarket spa to a prison cell complete with espresso machine to a luxury penthouse high in the sky, this third adventure of the Thursday Murder Club is full of the cleverness, intrigue, and irresistible charm that readers have come to expect from Richard Osman’s bestselling series.

Reviews
Praise for The Bullet That Missed:“Osman concocts a satisfyingly complex whodunit full of neat twists and wrong turns. But unlike most crime novelists, he ensures his book’s strength and momentum stem not from its plot or its thrills but rather its perfectly formed characters. Once again, the quartet of friends makes for delightful company… Heartwarming and enthralling. ‘They carried a kind of magic, the four of them,’ a policeman muses. That magic is still there in abundance.”
—Washington Post
“The Bullet That Missed hits on every front. Its quandaries stymie, its solutions thrill, its banter is worth reciting and its characters exemplify an admirable camaraderie. One can only hope that the Thursday Murder Club’s next outing appears before long.”
—Wall Street Journal
“The Thursday Murder Club is back, and that should make everyone happy — except, of course, murderers. Richard Osman's engaging series about a group of crime-solving retirees has delighted readers since the first book. The Thursday Murder Club, an international bestseller, was funny, original, baffling, poignant and thoroughly engaging. That's a high bar to set from the get-go, but Osman has easily achieved it in subsequent books… This book is as delightful as the others. A remarkable achievement, Osman up there effortlessly balancing on that very high bar.”
—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
“Not to be missed.”

“The mysteries are complex, the characters vivid, and the whole thing is laced with warm humor and—remarkably, considering the body count—good feeling. Your next must-read mystery series.”
—Kirkus, starred review
“Bestseller Osman’s diverting third Thursday Murder Club mystery (after 2021’s The Man Who Lived Twice) delivers laughs along with a nicely woven plot....The pace is breezy, the characters are intelligent and varied in their interests and backgrounds, and the humor is often pitched to readers who understand the vagaries of getting older. Osman reliably entertains.”
—Publishers Weekly
“It's charming and, as always, will leave you guessing the murderer until the very end.”
