The gang is all back in this third installment of the Thursday Murder Club series, and romance, as well as murder, is the focus of this book.
A decade-old cold case grabs the attention of Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim: TV host Bethany Waites appears to have been murdered over her investigation into a money laundering scheme when her car was sent over a cliff, but the body was never recovered. What became of her body, and who is behind the supposed murder? Focusing on these questions leads them to her former co-host, Mike Waghorn, who is still mourning her even after all these years. While investigating their latest case, they also get involved with a former KGB agent and a mysterious Viking who instructs Elizabeth to kill the former agent, or he will kill Joyce, all because of a misunderstanding involving cryptocurrency. What lengths will Elizabeth go to save her friend?
Osman once again deftly works multiple storylines into a cohesive whole while exploring the intricacy of money laundering and cryptocurrency. Additionally, there are several new, interesting characters introduced who will probably be featured again--or at least I hope so. I loved the intricate plotting and humor the series is known for. This is a terrific addition to the series. 4.5 stars.
