The Thursday Murder Club

It's the following Thursday. Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He's made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very real threat to his life. As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus? But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn't bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. Can The Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them?

"So schlau und lustig. Leider ziemlich gut." Ian Rankin "Eine warmherzige, weise und witzige Warnung davor, dass man die Älteren nie unterschätzen darf." Val McDermid Man möchte meinen, so eine luxuriöse Seniorenresidenz in der idyllischen Grafschaft Kent sei ein friedlicher Ort. Das dachte auch die fast achtzigjährige Joyce, als sie in Coopers Chase einzog. Bis sie Elizabeth, Ron und Ibrahim kennenlernt oder, anders gesagt, eine ehemalige Geheimagentin, einen ehemaligen Gewerkschaftsführer und einen ehemaligen Psychiater. Sie wird Teil ihres Clubs, der sich immer donnerstags im Puzzlezimmer trifft, um ungelöste Kriminalfälle aufzuklären. Als dann direkt vor ihrer Haustür ein Mord verübt wird, ist der Ermittlungseifer der vier Senioren natürlich geweckt, und selbst der Chefinspektor der lokalen Polizeidienststelle kann nur über ihren Scharfsinn staunen.

Der neue Fall für das scharfsinnigste, britischste und charmanteste Ermittlerteam der Krimigeschichte ist da Im Puzzlezimmer der luxuriösen Seniorenresidenz Coopers Chase stapeln sich die Akten ungelöster Mordfälle. Und weil Joyce nun einmal ein Faible für Celebritys hat, ermittelt der Donnerstagsmordclub jetzt in dem Fall Bethany Waites. Die junge Journalistin nämlich war die Kollegin des attraktiven Anchormans der Lokalnachrichten und wurde vor fast zehn Jahren ermordet, weil sie den Strippenziehern eines riesigen Steuerbetrugs zu nahegekommen ist. Schneller als den Beteiligten lieb sein kann, wird aus dem cold case ein sehr heißer. Dann verschwindet auch noch Elizabeth und wird vor eine grausame Wahl gestellt: Töten oder getötet werden.

Sucesso com mais de 3 milhões de exemplares vendidos, Clube do Crime das Quintas-Feiras retorna às livrarias com terceiro livro protagonizado por improvável grupo de detetives da terceira idade É uma quinta-feira como outra qualquer, e as coisas finalmente deveriam estar voltando ao normal. Quando o Clube do Crime das Quintas-Feiras está envolvido, no entanto, os problemas nunca ficam longe por muito tempo. Depois de desafiar a máfia e participar de um roubo de diamantes, o quarteto de detetives septuagenários se debruça sobre um crime cometido uma década antes: o assassinato de uma jornalista local, cuja investigação gera muito mais perguntas do que respostas. Para dificultar a situação, um inimigo misterioso impõe a Elizabeth uma tarefa ingrata: matar um velho conhecido — ou se recusar e acabar morta. Assim, enquanto ela luta com sua consciência, Joyce, Ron e Ibrahim seguem as pistas do homicídio, auxiliados por um círculo de comparsas bem eclético. Entre saídas com celebridades e espiões, visitas à prisão, encontros românticos e novos amigos, o Clube do Crime das Quintas-Feiras se lança em uma aventura repleta de intrigas e comportamentos que facilmente ultrapassam os limites da legalidade. Desta vez, porém, os riscos parecem ainda maiores, assim como os segredos dentro e fora da investigação. Com milhões de exemplares vendidos no mundo todo, Richard Osman aposta mais uma vez em seus personagens irresistíveis para criar uma narrativa inteligente e divertidíssima. Com doses certeiras de humor, A bala que errou o alvo promete ser um verdadeiro deleite para quem gosta de um bom suspense — e para quem é fã de velhinhos que adoram se meter em confusão.
