It is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally be returning to normal. Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. A decade-old cold case—their favorite kind--leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers.

Then a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit. Her mission? Kill or be killed. Suddenly the cold case has become red hot.

While Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim chase down the clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?

From an upmarket spa to a prison cell complete with espresso machine to a luxury penthouse high in the sky, this third adventure of the Thursday Murder Club is full of the cleverness, intrigue, and irresistible charm that readers have come to expect from Richard Osman’s bestselling series.

「簡簡單單的生活沒什麼不好,但在這個節骨眼上,
有宗謀殺案要去查清,有各種威脅訊息天天來挑釁,
真是澈底讓人意識到自己懷念麻煩的心情……」
 
十年前,正在調查走私逃稅弊案的電視新聞記者柏特妮收到一封警告信,信封裡還裝著一顆子彈。她告訴同事自己「取得爆炸性情報」之後不久,就隨著墜落山崖的座車消失無蹤──汽車殘骸中有她的血跡和衣物,卻沒有遺體,她的銀行帳戶、電話和信箱也從此毫無動靜。
 
如今,這樁未解謎案來到了養老社區裡的「週四謀殺俱樂部」四位銀髮偵探手中。他們一方面邀來柏特妮的同事、如今已是知名主播的邁可套出訊息,另一面則透過俱樂部成員喬伊絲的商界菁英女兒深入研究柏特妮當年追蹤的經濟犯罪,不料調查一開始就迎來一連串的意外──帶頭擬定探案計畫的伊莉莎白和患有失智症的丈夫史提芬同遭綁架,頗想證明自己雄風不減的朗恩被疑似涉入失蹤案的電視臺化妝師迷得團團轉,前心理醫師伊博辛為了搜尋弊案線索而探訪監獄,竟也被迫重新執業、和獄中的毒販展開了每週會診。
 
此時,身兼推理小說家一職的郡警察局局長造訪了養老社區舉辦朗讀會,老偵探們和小說家局長的相遇,會讓破案速度突飛猛進,或是惹出更多大事……?
