THE BULLET THAT MISSED

THE BULLET THAT MISSED by Richard Osman

Author Richard Osman's Thursday Morning Club is such a fun idea for a series. A group of senior citizens gather together to solve cold cases. Some of these senior citizens are not your average grandparents. We have a psychiatrist and a former MI-5 ( or is it MI-6 - the group isn't even sure) agent among them.

In the third book of the series, The Bullet That Missed, the Thursday Morning Club is caught up in the mysterious cold case death of a news anchor. Who was responsible for her death? Was it greed or jealousy motivated or was she working on a story that cost her her life? Is she even dead? After all, her body was never found. There are questions that need answering.

While still murder mysteries, these books tend to be low on the gory list, but a great mash-up of humor and heavy subjects such as dementia and loyalty to friends. They are a fit for all adult ages, because even though our Club is senior citizens, the police officers we come to know are not.

HEADS UP- Even though we are dealing with a mainly geriatric character list, there is still a decent amount of, to put it in British terms, Rumpy Pumpy going on or the talk there of. No intense details are given, but just a heads up. There is also a character who is gay, but it only shows up in a couple of conversations. There is a bit of language.
