I have so enjoyed this series of books, read the first two and listened to three and four, such a wonderful idea of a murder club started by elderly people, I now want to move into a retirement home and start a murder solving club. I think Richard’s characters are really entertaining, have laughed, cried had fun and I’m very sad it will be a long wait until the next book, thank you Richard Osman

Sheer pleasure

Fiona Shaw's narration is so much better in this book and accompanies a fantastic story. Tears and humour. Now to wait 2 years until the next one :-(

Much better narration this time

I hope your books make me a better person. You give some great tips on life. I was actually driving to a funeral whilst listening to your book and then driving home. It took four hours there and four hours back. My views of the people at the funeral were always going to be that we cry for ourselves, not for the person that has gone. And how selfish the act of crying is. I cried too! At the funeral and listening to your book. I think your characters have a strange kind of dignity, growing old is not for the faint hearted. X

Loved the actual story, indeed the best of the series. Narration poor, indeed I think the worst of the series! Struggled to hear the “Joyce” character at times, slow and quiet. The accents were terrible , indeed the Liverpool one was so bad it was worse than parody . I wish I’d bought the book

Narration poor

We’ll done Richard and congratulations, Fiona.
Unlike some other readers, I loved her narration. It was sensitive and well paced and not “ Shouty” like some other narrators. If some readers perceive this as “ whispering” , then I disagree.
I think it depends on where you listen to it. Maybe in the car or with background noise then it’s a quiet rendition but at night, with a glass of red, it’s perfect.
The story was also wonderful and I hope Richard decides to revisit Coopers Chase at some time in the future.
If not, I look forward to anything else he writes, as I’m sure it will be as enthralling.
Wouldn’t this make a fantastic TV series, or am I just stating the obvious, here?

Amazing story and Narration
