The Last Devil to Die

Rachael Bahr

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.

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.

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.

Always a pleasure to see what the gang is up to next. This one was particularly touching at times but still with several moments of its trademark humour and some surprising turns.

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!
