Once again a Thursday Murder Club has me cackling and crying constantly throughout. 


Also not long after reading this I actually ate at a Wimpy and all I could think about was Joyce.

Another great entry in this series. They always manage to balance being funny and touching along with having an engaging mystery to solve.

I have demolished this series as fast as I can - the plot is well formulated and I’m STILL thrown at the end no matter how certain I am that I’ve solved it.

This volume I found a little harder to stick with than the others. The cast was quite large and even though all the characters are exceptionally well-considered, I found it difficult to remember all of the different names and some I really enjoyed getting to know a lot more than others. While the action got underway relatively fast, I found the pace ebbed and flowed which made following the plot a little less harder than the previous two.

All in all, Osman never lost me. His humour runs throughout and I’ll be running to grab the fourth book as soon as it’s out!

the Viking was a hilarious and terrifying villain, I enjoyed every time he cropped up, especially when it all came to a head in Joyce’s flat…. our poor, insecure bookworm :,,)
