Richard Osman's new book is out next week, the fourth in his Thursday Murder Club series.
I have reviewed it in the i newspaper today. Not a spoiler: I absolutely loved it.

The Bullet That Missed - which I also reviewed for the i newspaper
Fantastic review, Moira. I'm very glad it ticked all the boxes for you. I like the fact that the characters' storylines are moving along just as the major plot lines do. That makes them more authentic, in my opinion. You make a good point about categories, too. I wouldn't say Osman's work is cosy at all, but there are lighter moments. It's not dark and gritty, but there are, as you point out, darker moments. I think that's part of what makes it ring true.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margot - and you make very good points about what makes reading these books such a positive experience.
