Thursday Murder Club book 5 title and release date announced by Richard Osman | Books | Entertainment

As fans eagerly await the Netflix release of Steven Spielberg’s Thursday Murder Club film adaptation, Richard Osman has just announced book 5.

Two years on from the latest mystery about a group of rural pensioners who solve local murders and we have a title and release date of the latest novel.

The best-selling author posted on X this afternoon: “Delighted to announce the name of the new ‘Thursday Murder Club’ novel – The Impossible Fortune.

“Available to pre-order RIGHT NOW. So lovely to bring the gang back together. And the whole thing starts with a wedding.”

Osman added: “The inspiration was the lyric ‘Fortune’s always hiding…’ from ‘I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles’ (Ron’s idea of course). But no-one got the reference. I thought everyone knew that song!”

The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman is published on September 25.
