In The Impossible Fortune, the Thursday Murder Club returns after a quiet year – Joyce is consumed by wedding plans, Elizabeth is still reeling from grief, Ron is dealing with family drama and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to a longtime criminal friend. But when Elizabeth meets a nervous best man at a wedding, who claims someone tried to kill him that very morning, it becomes clear the celebration is anything but tame. The plot thickens with a mysterious "uncrackable code," disappearing persons and enough suspects – some shady, some surprising – to keep readers guessing until the very last page. Osman blends wit, warmth and suspense in this fifth installment, proving that even when life seems calm, danger isn't far behind.
