The Bullet That Missed














tags: British series, mystery, septuagenarians, Thursday Murder Club #3
⭐⭐⭐

From Goodreads
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 local news legend is on the hunt for a sensational headline, and soon the gang are hot on the trail of two murders, ten years apart.
To make matters worse, a new nemesis pays Elizabeth a visit, presenting her with a deadly mission: kill or be killed...
While Elizabeth grapples with her conscience (and a gun), the gang and their unlikely new friends (including TV stars, money launderers and ex-KGB colonels) unravel a new mystery. But can they catch the culprit and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?
I was eagerly awaiting the latest addition to the mystery series and was disappointed. I'm in the minority because the novel has a very high rating on Goodreads.

IMHO, the regulars, the two "bad" villains, and the mystery itself are too cartoonish. There are too many additional characters and the original side characters were set aside. Not good but I'm not saying bye bye yet to Mr. Richard Osman.. I will still read the next one.
