The Impossible Fortune — Richard Osman Coleman’s Notes — The Reader’s Companion Digital Reader’s Companion | £6.95
The Thursday Murder Club returns — and another seemingly impossible mystery is waiting to be solved.
Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron are back in Richard Osman’s fifth Thursday Murder Club novel.
A wedding should provide an opportunity to celebrate.
Instead, the friends are soon drawn into a dangerous new mystery involving secrets, deception and an extraordinary fortune.
As the investigation develops, the residents of Coopers Chase once again demonstrate why they should never be underestimated.
But beneath the twists, clues and trademark humour lies the real heart of the Thursday Murder Club series: friendship, loyalty, family and the determination to keep embracing life regardless of age.
This Coleman’s Notes Reader’s Companion helps individual readers and book clubs explore both the mystery and the ideas beneath it.

Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club novels offer considerably more to discuss than the solution to the crime.
How have the four central characters changed since the beginning of the series?
What does the pursuit of the fortune reveal about greed and motivation?
How important is trust to the mystery?
Why does friendship remain the emotional centre of the series?
And how does Osman continue to combine murder, danger and loss with such warmth and humour?
Coleman’s Notes provides the analysis and discussion material to take your conversation beyond the final page.
