The Bullet That Missed hits on every front. " —the Wall Street Journal It is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally be returning to normal. Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. A decade-old cold case—their favorite kind--leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers. But Osman’s motive is simply to entertain and show off his witty one-liner skills. So it’s compromised by reaching unnecessarily far into worlds where the characters end up inconsistent with the worlds to which they’re supposed to belong.

There are lots of new characters who are as entertaining and believable as the familiar supporting cast whose circumstances and relationships continue to evolve in touching, amusing and beguiling ways.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth is presented with a deadly mission: kill or be killed and while she grapples with this latest dilemma, her conscience and a gun - the gang and their new friends unravel a new mystery.

The Bullet that Missed is another masterstroke with a clever plot and lots of laughs along the way. This latest title in this series by Richard Osman is no where near as amusing or entertaining as the earlier books. I found it rather boring compared to the previous titles and am wondering if the concept has run its course. Both the characters and the story line were predictable and the writing gets rather bogged down .
