Well he’s popular! Richard Osman has sold over three million books. Does that mean they are good? Well, they’re entertaining at least. Three are in The Thursday Murder Club series. The Club consists of a widow, a former spy, a labor leader and a psychiatrist. Meeting on Thursdays in the Old Folks Home, where they live, they tackle cold murder cases that the police have not solved.
In order the books are The Thursday Murder Club, The Man Who Died Twice, and The Bullet That Missed. Having read the three, while enjoyable, the hype puzzles me. There is subtle British humor and funny twists and turns. Some of the humor comes from the setting in an OFH. Enjoying them all, each book seemed a bit better than the previous one.
While I’m not likely to become a fan of murder mysteries I will read the 4th in the series when it’s published hence.
Takk for alt,
