The Bullet That Missed
Book 3 of the Thursday Murder Club series
The Thursday Murder Club investigates the cold case of a television journalist who disappeared while pursuing a major story. Elizabeth faces a dangerous figure from her past, while Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron follow clues involving money, media, and a person everyone assumed was dead. Friendship and aging remain as central as the puzzle, especially when threats reach the retirement village. Funny and warmly suspenseful, this cozy mystery suits a weekend binge for readers who enjoy senior sleuths, layered cold cases, criminal negotiations, and loyalty expressed through meddling.
