While I'm a little salty this couldn't have been a Thursday Murder Club book, I am willing to forgive. It is everything we've come to expect from Mr. Osman: characters you'll adore, twists and turns and surprises, unexpectedly capable senior citizens, helpful and polite criminals, and a story so well written you can't put it down. This book has so many quick and subtle moments of hilarity that will shock you into a laugh. I am glad I was alone in my car listening, because at one point, I literally shouted "YOU BEAUTIFUL CRAFTY B****!!!" Read it, then read it again.
