When the Thursday Murder Club meets, the four geriatric detectives are presented with a cold case from ten years ago by their favourite TV news reader. A colleague of his has been murdered; but there was no body, and no answers. She was unearthing some huge story involving mafia and politicians, and the only person with any connection with the case is in jail.
The club ropes in their mob-queen from the last book, also in the same jail, to help investigate the case. while Ron starts a relationship with the lady who worked at the same TV station, and was friends with the victim.
Meanwhile, an unknown, shadowy figure nicknamed “The Viking” has charged Elizabeth with the task of murdering a former KGB colleague and friend of hers, with the threat of killing Joyce if she fails.
Will the quartet of intrepid seniors overcome their challenges and solve the sticky conundrums they are presented with?
Another great page turner from Osman with sharp dialogues and unexpected surprises. Great read.
