“Osman’s septuagenarian sleuths are having a busy fall, making their film debut (on Netflix Aug. 28) and returning for another literary adventure. The latest addition to the Thursday Murder Club series promises plenty more satisfying twists and English charm as Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron and Ibrahim investigate the disappearance of a guest at a wedding.”
—The New York Times Book Review

“Witty and openhearted. . . [The Impossible Fortune] features the same sort of sly humor and thrillerish components that make the other novels hum along: a car bomb, a missing person, a possibly unopenable safe, an unscrupulous aristocrat, some excellent sleuthing by octogenarians whose ages cause others to underestimate them. But Osman’s fans know that there’s more to it than that. . . . Tucked inside the crowd-pleasing plots are themes of grief, loss, friendship, the renegotiated relationships between parents and their adult children, and the indignities and sorrows of old age.”—Sarah Lyall, The New York Times

“Pensioners Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim are up to their old tricks again in Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series, inserting themselves into a missing-persons case that will no doubt ensnare their expanding roster of buddies, from their favorite local police detectives to an imprisoned drug kingpin.”—The Washington Post
