Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
This audiobook in The Thursday Murder Club series is read by a new narrator, Fiona Shaw.
A new mystery is afoot in the third book in the Thursday Murder Club series from record-breaking, bestselling author Richard Osman.
This audiobook includes an exclusive interview between Richard Osman and journalist and TV presenter Steph McGovern.
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?

Another triumph, narrated beautifully!
Just finished listening and I am both thrilled by the exceptional story telling and saddened because I will have to wait another year to read about the shenanigans of the Thursday murder club.
Each of the three books have been a delight. Characters now feel like old friends, a story which enjoyably twists and turns plus wonderful touches of humour.
Yes the narrator has changed but I think Fiona Shaw brings her own style and subtle elegance to the story telling.
Mr Osman, no pressure but I am eager to hear number 4.

Great sequel, average narration. Bring back Leslie
I love Fiona Shaw, but I think her tone and narration was unfortunately quite one note. it was difficult to distinguish the different characters as there was little nuance, which is crucial for a good audiobook. She intermittently gave Chris a West country accent which was a bit off putting. The loss of the twinkle that Leslie Mann gave Joyce's voice is a real shame as she seemed to capture the tone perfectly. Still a great story and well paced, beautiful insight into the strengths of our forgotten older generations

The story that keeps on giving!
Another masterpiece. I have just finished this wonderful book. It’s beautifully written, as were the first two. I was a bit thrown either the change of reader but the writing more than made up for my misgivings and I ended up enjoying Fiona Shaw as well as Lesley Manville. I have raved about the book to many people, some of whom found them a little complicated and were confused with all the characters, so I have told them all to have the books read to them. I listen in my car and on Alexa, when I’m cooking and it makes me so happy. I think I am Joyce, or am turning into her.
Bravo, Richard Osman!!

Please give it a chance!!
Really disappointed to see people discounting the book because of the change in narrator!! Fiona does a great job and narrates with a lovely sensitivity, bringing so much to the story! I too was disappointed about the change but after a few chapters I really settled in and enjoyed the reading.

The Bullet That Missed
This is a fantastic third book in the Thursday Murder Club, with the retired folk looking up an old case that seemed to trigger new killings. With loads of new romance in the air, this story comes to life with Fiona Show reading the story to us. Just brilliant all round.

Richard Osman does NOT disappoint!
Loved this! The further adventures of the lovely familiar main characters, who are now rather like old friends. Brilliant writing. Roll on book 4!

Richard Osman stories
I have just finished listening to the third Thursday Club book, I really have enjoyed all of them and Im frustrated that I have to wait another year for number 4. The murders are very tongue in cheek and the characters so mixed that gives the whole a serious smile.

Yes it did take a few chapters ...
to get used to the new narrator but I was soon tuned in to the new style and as a standalone audiobook there's nothing to fault.

another great outing from the gang
A fun story, with a good few twist and turns.
a few new characters, with a lot of heart and depth.
I've not listened to the previous audio books, having read them instead, so can't comment about the change of narrator, but thought Fiona Shaw did a lovely job and definitely got pulled into the story.
short chapters from the pov of a bunch of different characters always keeps it interesting.
Good interview at the end.

Absolute corker
Loved the fun and elegant story line, have recommended to friends.
Narration however, not as great as previously. Still, I got so absorbed it mostly stopped boring me.
