The Bullet That Missed is the third novel in Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series, published in 2023. Following the success of its predecessors, this mystery continues to blend sharp wit with genuinely puzzling crime narratives, centered on a group of retirees who solve murders from their care home in Surrey.
Osman's approach to crime fiction eschews gritty realism in favor of character-driven storytelling. The ensemble cast - Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim - investigate a cold case involving a shooting at a local pub, uncovering layers of deception and long-buried secrets. The plot weaves multiple timelines and perspectives, rewarding careful readers with interconnected clues that feel satisfying rather than contrived.
The novel balances humor with genuine emotional stakes. Osman writes dialogue that captures how real people talk, and his supporting characters - from a local detective to mysterious outsiders - feel fully realized. Readers who appreciate Agatha Christie's plotting sensibility combined with contemporary sensibilities will find much to appreciate here.
