THE THIRD NOVEL IN THE RECORD-BREAKING, MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING THURSDAY MURDER CLUB SERIES.

This audiobook in The Thursday Murder Club series is read by a new narrator, Fiona Shaw.

Featuring an exclusive conversation between Richard Osman and award-winning presenter Steph McGovern at the end of the audiobook.

It is an ordinary Thursday and things should finally be returning to normal.

Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club is concerned. A decade-old cold case leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers.

Then a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit. Her mission? Kill...or be killed.

As the cold case turns white hot, Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), while Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim chase down clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?

'Full of Osman's trademark charm, insight and intelligence' Lee Child
'Tender, hopeful and funny' Marian Keyes
'I adored this thrilling adventure. His best yet!' Claire Douglas

A new reader was a little disconcerting for the first half hour. Now I can't remember the old one and can't imagine anyone other than Fiona Shaw. Loved this 3rd book, devoured it in one sitting and now feel bereft having to wait an eternity for the next one.

Loved it. Just wish I'd not finished it in one day

I absolutely love this series and this book doesn't dissapoint. Like many people I was thrown at the change of narrator at first but I very quickly forgot all about that as Fiona Shaw does a brilliant job. Anyone who immediately gave 1 star because of this and didn't bother to listen to the whole book first should be ignored. the characters as always are brilliantly written and performed and the plot kept me guessing throughout. Word of warning the last half hour is (a very interesting) talk with Richard Osman so when you think you have 45 minutes left it's actually just 15. I like to prepare myself for the end of a book especially when it's got such an amazing cast of characters. can't wait for book 4!

Another brilliant book in the series

It may take some time to get used to fiona’s narrating but you won't be disappointed at all! Her expression and performing are blooming, especially in the middle of story. And this episode was connected so well with sources of the previous case. Unexpected but Still Enjoyable!

Just follow the story and see how it works

Another fantastic book with a few more lovable characters. As expected the change in narrator was strange but the book is so good you soon forget. I feared with it being book 3 the author would loose a character but thankfully they are all still with us. Because of this I am looking forward to book 4. I loved it !

Fantastic

Fiona Shaw is excellent, different but excellent all the same. It is hard when narrators change and Lesley Manville is amazing and I was worried after reading the previous reviews but I am really enjoying it. Different is not always a bad thing.

New narrator but still really good.
