The Bullet That Missed is the 3rd in the series of the Thursday Murder Club Mysteries. I adore the characters and I can never get enough of them working through their difficult cases that often overlap other cases. This one starts as all the others do. The gang gets together to choose a cold case to hopefully solve when Elizabeth also receives word from a mysterious man telling her that she must kill a retired Russian agent who was once her lover or her best […]

More Murders or Not and some Thursday Club hook-ups and hang-ups

I missed episode two of the Thursday Murder Club, but I don’t think it caused me too much issue with following The Bullet That Missed (book 3).

For the very few who do not know, the Thursday Murder Club is a group of seniors who live in a retirement community and review unsolved murder cases in […]

I don’t know how much more I can continue to say about these books, as my love for them is not diminishing but only growing, and the books are so consistent with what I love about them, I don’t want to just be saying the same things every time a new one is published. But I guess I’m going to anyway! Sorry. But not really. Our four septuagenarians are still at it, solving murders on Thursdays, and hopefully things have calmed down after the chaos […]
