The Last Devil to Die

A Thursday Murder Club Mystery, Book 4

By: Richard Osman

Narrated by: Fiona Shaw

The fourth installment in the beloved and New York Times bestselling series from Richard Osman, now streaming on Netflix

“The best Murder Club book yet. . . A poignant complement to both the fair-play mystery plot and the characters’ lively humor.”
—The New York Times Book Review

It's rarely a quiet day for the Thursday Murder Club.

Shocking news reaches them—an old friend has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing.

The gang's search leads them into the antiques business, where the tricks of the trade are as old as the objects themselves. As they encounter drug dealers, art forgers, and online fraudsters—as well as heartache close to home—Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim have no idea whom to trust.

With the body count rising, the clock ticking down, and trouble firmly on their tail, has their luck finally run out?

And who will be the last devil to die?

Low talker

Whoever told the narrator she should whisper is wrong wrong wrong. It was so hard to hear some parts which spoiled the experience for me. The story is good (I think) but I’ll have to go back and read it.

Perfection

This series is so much more than a murder mystery anthology. As the books progress you come to learn more about each character, which makes Richard Osman’s writing so engaging and so compelling. The primary characters develop and change in such a human way that you feel emotionally attached to them. This latest book is truly remarkable. By far my favorite book series in a contemporary setting.

A real tearjerker

Loved the story. This one made me cry, though. Almost as bad as A Little Life made me cry. Such beauty and poignancy in the story here. Fiona Shaw does a terrific job. My only quibble is that it’s a little too hushed a narration for me. A little too quiet and close to the mic. But overall a superb rendering of the text.

I Love This Series!!!

I love these characters!! I’m gonna miss Stephen…RIP
I am anxiously anticipating the preorder for book 5!!

Devilry

Thank you, Mr. Osman, for the laughs and tears. This installment is the best yet.
