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 favourite criminal.

But when Elizabeth meets a wedding guest who’s in trouble, kidnap and death are hot on their heels once more. A villain wants access to an uncrackable code, and will stop at nothing to get it. Plunged back into action once more, can the gang solve the puzzle and a murder in time?

I purchased a copy of this book for my own reading.

When a wedding guest approaches Elizabeth for help with a threat against his life, what should be a day of celebration sees de facto leader of the Thursday Murder Club return to the fold following the loss of her husband.

The final (for now) book in this series maintains some of the heavy atmosphere from the previous book. When a cybersecurity expert approaches the gang believing he is the target for a car bomb, the Thursday Murder Club seek answers. His disappearance and the death of his partner in a car bombing throws the investigation into a deadly race against time with a significant fortune in cyber currency at its heart.

Meanwhile, Ron is thrown into a situation of his own involving his daughter and her abusive estranged husband. His son Jason finds himself embroiled in the matter while seeking to protect his nephew. The series continues to roll with everything that makes it great, my only issue being Chris and Donna falling more by the wayside. Hopefully future entries will see their return to a more significant role.
