*NARRATED BY FIONA SHAW (Harry Potter, Killing Eve, Bad Sisters)*

The unmissable new mystery in the bestselling, record-breaking Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman


Who's got time to think about murder when there's a wedding to plan?

It’s been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favourite criminal.

But when Elizabeth meets a wedding guest who fears for their life, the thrill of the chase is ignited once again. A villain wants access to an uncrackable code, and will stop at nothing to get it. Plunged back into their most explosive investigation yet, can the gang solve the puzzle and a murder in time?

‘Funny, clever, compelling’ HARLAN COBEN

‘Osman just gets better’ SHARI LAPENA

'The thing that shines through in Osman’s writing is that he really likes people and revels in all their foibles and eccentricities . . . a delightful read' OBSERVER

What a wonderful joy this book and reading, have been. The gang are at their best; the twists and turns keep coming and the door is left open for the future. Beautifully read by Fiona and the characters are well set into their own skin. Beautiful job. Well worth listening to and/or reading.
