Shocking news reaches the Thursday Murder Club.

An old friend in the antiques business has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing.

As the gang springs into action they encounter art forgers, online fraudsters and drug dealers, as well as heartache close to home.

With the body count rising, the package still missing and trouble firmly on their tail, has their luck finally run out? And who will be the last devil to die?

Thursday Murder Club #4

The Last Devil to Die

Rachael Bahr

We think time travels forward, marches on in a straight line, and so we hurry alongside it to keep up. Hurry, hurry, mustn't fall behind. But it doesn't, you see. Time just swirls around us. Everything is always present. The things we’ve done, the people we’ve loved, the people we’ve hurt, they’re all still here.

It has pieces from six thousand years ago, can you imagine? And on these pieces you can see fingerprints, you can see scratches where someone's child has come in and distracted them. You understand that these people are still alive? Everyone who dies is alive. We call people dead' because we need a word for it, but dead' just means that time has stopped moving forward for that person? You understand? No one dies, not really.

you dont understand i am SOBBING my best buddy SHUT UP

RON TIL IBRAHIM- En falsk Oscar-statuett med Min beste kompis på. Da begynte vi å sippe hele gjengen.

Snowy, sofaen, Elizabeth. Stephen er elsket og trygg. Hva enn det er som foregår, og et eller annet er det, så er Stephen elsket, og Stephen er trygg. Det er et utgangspunkt. En stø grunn å stå på.

Men uansett hvor mye livet lærer en at ingenting varer, er det likevel et sjokk når det forsvinner. Når mannen hun elsker med hver fiber i kroppen begynner å vende tilbake til stjernene, et atom av gangen.

Give me a break, there are no more tears left in my body, this is so sweet

"Sånn har jeg det hver kveld. Jeg lengter etter Gerry. Jeg vet at jeg ikke kan nå ham, men jeg gir aldri opp å prøve."

Ibrahim og Ron ser på Joyce, deretter på hverandre. Ibrahim nikker svakt, og Ron himler med øynene.

"Greit, du kan bli og skravle om hva du vil."

"Bare hvis dere er helt sikre," sier Joyce, kåpen er allerede på vei av igjen.

De to mennene vinker muntert til politifolkene som holder øye med dem fra bakketoppen.

all i'm asking for is one chapter of PEACE

Jeg gjemmer bort kjærligheten min. Og ingen har noen gang tatt hånden min under bordet siden.

What is it about Christmas? Everything that's wrong seems worse, and everything that's right seems better.

He wants to make Donna proud. Christmas had been a dream, waking up late, watching Australian reality TV shows, losing at board games. Bogdan has not wanted to make anyone proud since his mother died. He likes it.

Elizabeth smiles at Stephen in the mirror and he smiles back. Love can be so very easy sometimes.

Life continues, whatever you do. It's a bulldozer like that.

A day of death is a day of love. Ibrahim knows plenty about both.

The story was good but it is the incredibly beautiful descriptions of how Elizabeth and Stephen deal with his dementia that makes this such an interesting novel. I had tears streaming down my face at one point - and, once you've read it, you'll know which bit I mean.

I had fallen out of The Thursday Murder Club with the second and third installments falling a bit flat for me, but thoroughly enjoyed the fun of the 4th! Touching detaillings of love and grief, with a fun cast and story.

The whole series is so spectacular! A great pace, thrilling and is so funny! I wish I could forget what I read only to re-read all of them again, they’re really good and so heartwarming! 🥰

Somewhat confusing (a lot of characters going), but so so good. Emotional and funny. Cried throughout, sobbed the last ~100 pages.

The perfect book series does exist, and it's this one. The characters; witty, complex, and make the reader feel like one of the group. The story; compelling and lovely with impressive multi-viewpoint writing.

Another entertaining outing for the Thursday Murder Club, this time venturing into the murky world of antiques and heroin smuggling, while addressing contemporary concerns such as romance fraud and end of life choices.

A new mystery is afoot in the fourth book in the Thursday Murder Club series from million-copy bestselling author Richard Osman You'd think you be allowed to relax over Christmas, but not in the world of the Thursday Murder Club. On Boxing Day, a dangerous package is smuggled across the English coast. When it goes missing, chaos is unleashed. The body count starts to rise – including someone close to the Thursday Murder Club--as our gang face an impossible search, and their most deadly opponents yet. With the clock ticking down and a killer heading to Cooper’s Chase, has their luck finally run out? And who will be “The Last Devil To Die”?

These four pensioners are winning my heart over and over again. It’s just so pure and authentic, I need about a hundred books more of them !

Not just a delightful mystery with the most unlikely group of amateur detectives, but also a beautiful tale about love and time and growing old. Some heart wrenching moments and musings about it all that had me dripping literal tears onto the page. I love this series so much. 

I just love this series, I don’t want it to ever end. Can barely choose who‘s my favourite character, but if possible, this novel made me love Ibrahim even more

After struggling with my last read, I decided, "What would Elizabeth do?" and found my answer by picking up the latest adventures of the Thursday Murder Club.

These characters are incredible! It was like the warm hug I knew I needed being back with the gang! The character development is fantastic (who knew Joyce had it in her?)

I laughed, I cried (there was a few chapters there that left me a blubbering mess) and my heart aches not knowing when I can find myself back within the safety of Coopers Chase with these lovable but eccentric OAPs again.

The ultimate comfort read with an appropriate amount of mystery, and, as always, Joyce's baking thrown in!
