In this fourth outing of the Thursday Murder Club, Osman again combines humor and danger with love, regret, and grief to take the reader on an exciting, emotional rollercoaster ride.
When Stephen's antique dealer friend, Kuldesh Sharma, is found murdered, the four members of the Thursday Murder Club spring into action. They discover that Kuldesh had come into possession of a heroin shipment that is now missing. Elizabeth, Joyce Ibrahim, and Ron begin searching for the shipment only to encounter two gangsters to whom the heroin belongs, and the race is on as to who can find the shipment first. Oh, and the police are also aware of the shipment but seem more interested in it than in solving Kuldesh's murder. A few exciting subplots also introduce new characters and bring back characters from previous books.
It's so easy to fall into the lives of these characters and feel the pain and love they do. I especially like how minor characters continue to populate the series as it progresses--they aren't just discarded at the end of a book--it's like welcoming back old friends. I love this series and am sorry that Osman will take a break from it. The good news is that it will continue after a hiatus.
I look forward to the next installment.
5 stars.
