Well, that’s it. I’ve officially finished the entire Thursday Murder Club series, and I’m feeling all kinds of ways about it. I only started reading the series a month ago and now that I’m done, I honestly don’t know what to do with myself. These books have been such a cozy, comforting escape, and this last installment, The Last Devil to Die, hit all the right feels. 

 

Richard Osman’s writing is just…perfect. I love how he makes murder mysteries feel like you’re settling in with a warm cup of tea on a rainy day. There’s something so charming about the way he balances the twists and turns of a good mystery with moments of humor and heart. 

 

Let’s talk about the characters. Joyce—my absolute favorite—is at her best here. She’s funny, a little unpredictable, and full of surprises. The whole crew—Elizabeth, Ron, Ibrahim—feels like old friends at this point, and watching them tackle yet another case with their wit and camaraderie just made me so happy. There’s something magical about how Osman makes you care deeply about these characters while also delivering a tight, engaging mystery. 

 

As for the plot, it was one of the best yet. It had me guessing, laughing, and even tearing up at times. I won’t spoil anything, but let’s just say, it was the perfect way to close out the series. I’m still reeling from how much I loved it. 

 

TLDR: If you haven’t yet picked up the Thursday Murder Club series, what are you literally doing with your life? Osman’s blend of cozy mystery, brilliant characters, and English charm is unbeatable. And The Last Devil to Die? An easy 5-star cherry on top.
