The Last Devil To Die cover

In this latest installment of the Thursday Murder Club series, the group investigates the murder of an antiques dealer and the disappearance of a dangerous package, facing various criminal elements along the way.

In The Last Devil To Die, the fourth installment of Richard Osman's beloved Thursday Murder Club series, the charming group of retirees faces a shocking new challenge. The story begins with the tragic news of the death of an old friend from the antiques business, who was safeguarding a dangerous package that has now gone missing. This event sets off a chain reaction, propelling the club into a web of intrigue filled with art forgers, online scammers, and drug dealers.

As the members of the Thursday Murder Club spring into action, they find themselves navigating a world that is both thrilling and perilous. Their investigation uncovers not only the complexities of the criminal underworld but also personal heartaches that resonate deeply with the characters. The stakes are high, with a rising body count and the ever-elusive package still unaccounted for. The question looms: has their luck finally run out?

Osman's writing continues to blend humor with poignant moments, making this novel as engaging as its predecessors. Readers can expect a narrative that is both entertaining and emotionally resonant, showcasing the author's ability to weave together mystery and character development. As the story unfolds, the tension builds, leading to a gripping conclusion that will leave fans eagerly anticipating what comes next for this endearing group of amateur sleuths.
