From Little Stack
Richard Osman’s The Impossible Fortune pulls you into a mystery that feels like a perfectly orchestrated puzzle, and one you think you can solve… until he flips the board with that signature, cheeky grin. This story crackles with clever clues, misdirection that actually earns its surprises, and characters who banter their way through danger with the kind of warmth and wit only Osman can pull off.
You’re not just watching a mystery unfold. You’re in it. Scanning every line for the hidden thread, only to realize Osman has already tied it into a knot while you were admiring the scenery. It’s playful, intricate, and delightfully twisty, the kind of book that makes you stay up far too late whispering, "Just one more chapter."
If you love a mystery that keeps your brain buzzing, your heart invested, and your grin firmly in place, this is absolutely one to dive into.
The unmissable new mystery in the Thursday Murder Club series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Osman, now streaming on Netflix.
Who's got time to think about murder when there's a wedding to plan?
It's been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favorite criminal.
But when Elizabeth meets Nick, a wedding guest asking for her help, she finds the thrill of the chase is ignited once again. And when Nick disappears without a trace, his cagey business partner becomes the gang's next stop. It seems the duo have something valuable—something worth killing for.
Joyce's daughter, Joanna, jumps into the fray to help the gang as they seek answers: Has someone kidnapped Nick? And what's this uncrackable code they keep hearing about? Plunged back into action once more, can the four friends solve the puzzle and a murder in time?
