Richard Osman is on a role. His newest book in the Thursday Murder Club series is The Impossible Fortune. I, for one, am glad he has continued to write this series because not only are the books great, I am enjoying the television series based on the books. Though the first one changed the ending of book one which I thought was a mistake.
This time the gang is back together and they are celebrating Joyce's daughter's wedding. Joanna as finally found love with Paul. At the wedding Elizabeth is approached by Paul's best man asking for some help with a problem. After the wonderful celebration Elizabeth shares the news the next day with the rest of the Thursday Murder Club and things get started.
The best man goes missing and then of course there is a murder. Elizabeth and Joyce get started investigating with their partners in detection, Ron and Ibrahim. The cast of characters grows in this mystery and there are some red herrings laong the way to distract you. But in the end so many loose ends are all tied up in a neat bow.
The writing style is terrific. Osman writes from multiple points of view and each is so unique and the voices are so consistent and clear. You can really tell the different personalities of the characters by their voices. Another fun read.
