“When you look backwards, everything is inevitable.” - Richard Osman, The Bullet That Missed Richard Osman is an esteemed English comedian who has made appearances on such English comedy game shows as 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown alongside other comedian authors, including David Baddiel and David Walliams.

On an ordinary Thursday, The Thursday Murder Club lurk around a troublesome decade-old cold case which leads them to a local news legend and a mysterious murder with few answers. 

Then a new nemesis assigns Elizabeth a task: kill or be killed. The cold case becomes red hot. Can the Thursday Murder Club solve the mystery and rescue Elizabeth before the murderer strikes once more? 

This instalment of The Thursday Murder Club series is full of wit, intrigue and irresistible “achingly British” charm that readers have come to expect from Osman. This book also serves well as a standalone.
