—————————-

A wedding. A code. A murder. Time is ticking . . .

It’s been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favourite criminal.

But when Elizabeth meets a wedding guest who fears for their life, the thrill of the chase is ignited once again. A villain wants access to an uncrackable code and will stop at nothing to get it.

Plunged back into their most explosive investigation yet, can the gang solve the puzzle and a murder in time?

Publisher Review

Full of humour, this is our fave one yet! * SUN * This proves to be one of Osman’s more cleverly plotted whodunnits, with bonus brainteasers in the form of cunning codes to crack * DAILY TELEGRAPH * A gently humorous read, peopled with characters who feel like old friends * GUARDIAN * A delight . . . if you really want to find out how families and friends react and interact and talk, then go to Richard Osman — iPAPER Osman reaches audiences other authors do not because he truly shares their world * OBSERVER *
