Much better narration this time

Fiona Shaw's narration is so much better in this book and accompanies a fantastic story. Tears and humour. Now to wait 2 years until the next one :-(

Life

I hope your books make me a better person. You give some great tips on life. I was actually driving to a funeral whilst listening to your book and then driving home. It took four hours there and four hours back. My views of the people at the funeral were always going to be that we cry for ourselves, not for the person that has gone. And how selfish the act of crying is. I cried too! At the funeral and listening to your book. I think your characters have a strange kind of dignity, growing old is not for the faint hearted. X

Amazing story and Narration

We’ll done Richard and congratulations, Fiona.
Unlike some other readers, I loved her narration. It was sensitive and well paced and not “ Shouty” like some other narrators. If some readers perceive this as “ whispering” , then I disagree.
I think it depends on where you listen to it. Maybe in the car or with background noise then it’s a quiet rendition but at night, with a glass of red, it’s perfect.
The story was also wonderful and I hope Richard decides to revisit Coopers Chase at some time in the future.
If not, I look forward to anything else he writes, as I’m sure it will be as enthralling.
Wouldn’t this make a fantastic TV series, or am I just stating the obvious, here?

Another enjoyable Osman, missing Leslie as the narrator

Another great Richard Osman leaving you yearning for the next one. Book four is much more sad and not as many twists as the other three but still very enjoyable.

As many others have stated, Fiona Shaw is a brilliant actress however her northern accents was extremely poor, and the whispering sometimes which was unnecessary. There were times I thought Joyce was Elizabeth.

I wonder if things might have improved if she’d been given proper lessons.

Lesley Manville absolutely is the queen of the Thursday murder club and a hard act to follow for Fiona but she did as good a job as was possible.

Very poor narration

The awful Liverpuddlian accent, the pronunciation of Paraguay and several other errors meant that listening was frustrating. Story was great but narration was too distracting

Brilliantly narrated brilliantly written

I couldn’t wait for the next adventure of the gang at coopers chase, and I wasn’t disappointed, I luved it. The chapter on Stephen was so beautifully written and read , I cried for him and all those around the world who suffer from dementia.
Next one please.

Loved it, it didn’t disappoint as I knew it wouldn’t.

Loved the story and was great to hear all the characters return. Laughed and wept with them. I love how Richard has made these Characters people I really look forward to coming back to and hearing their next story.

Another fabulous book

I have enjoyed following the adventures of the Thursday Murder Club since I was gifted the first book. This most recent book has been an emotional rollercoaster with laughter and tears as the story unfolds. Another great read.

Brilliant!

Just can’t stop listening. It’s a shame we have to wait between books! The characters and the world that the author has created are so believable but also unbelievably off the wall.
