The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman
The Impossible Fortune is the fifth instalment in Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series. While it’s not my favourite in the series, it does not disappoint. The story picks up a year after the last book, and our favourite retirees are living their lives: Joyce is busy with her daughter Joanna’s wedding plans, Elizabeth is dealing with her grief, Ron is facing family issues, and Ibrahim continues to provide therapy to a cagey client.
The calm is disrupted when Joyce’s soon-to-be son-in-law’s best man seeks Elizabeth’s help regarding a problem involving an unbreakable code, a bomb, and Bitcoin. His abrupt disappearance sends the gang into action. With humour, heart, and a couple of characters, this latest adventure delves deeper into the bonds of friendship and the camaraderie of the Thursday Murder Club members.
Filled with suspense and charm, it is a cosy mystery that captures the essence of the genre while introducing a new layer of danger. If you love a cosy mystery, then this series should be on your TBR pile.
I give it a #thumbsup👍;
Go read a book!
Body count: Two, maybe three. Perhaps a body count would be spoiler-y; perhaps it’s a mystery.
