The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman
You know those books that have "NYT Bestseller" splashed on the front with lots of rave reviews for the author? The ones that are following a core group of characters into different adventures? Don't accidentally pick up this third Thursday Murder Club book and think you can wade in and figure what is happening.
The book follows for Central characters from a retirement community who apparently are quite adapted solving murders. Good luck figuring out the relationships between them, who the law enforcement and other miscellaneous characters are. At 80 pages in I know who died, but given that the book is set in England somewhere, it's not incredibly easy for Americans to follow the geography, pop culture references or lingo.
Yeah so I put this in the dnf file and maybe we'll get back to it after I read the two books before it? (Probably not.... The weird turns of phrases and regional dialect are very off-putting)
