"Richard Osman unveils that the upcoming Thursday Murder Club book carries an explicit reference to the film version"
Richard Osman, the author of the popular "Thursday Murder Club" series, has penned the fifth book in the series, titled "The Impossible Fortune." This latest instalment, set to be released later this month, promises a thrilling tale involving a wedding, a villain seeking an uncrackable code, and the Thursday Murder Club investigating a murder.
In "The Impossible Fortune," we find our beloved characters, Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron, and Ibrahim, in various stages of their lives. Joyce is busy with wedding plans, while Elizabeth is grieving. Ron, who is played by Pierce Brosnan in the Netflix adaptation of the series, is dealing with family troubles. Ibrahim, on the other hand, is providing therapy to his favourite criminal.
The Netflix adaptation of "The Impossible Fortune" is currently available to watch, featuring Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie, and Ben Kingsley reprising their roles from the previous movie. The film has received a largely positive critical reaction, with a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the audience's response has been more divided, with the movie currently holding a 53% rating.
Richard Osman, the author, has expressed indifference towards the general response to the movie, stating that its success will be determined by viewers' enjoyment. As for the future of the series, there is no official news regarding a sequel to the Thursday Murder Club movie. The fifth film adaptation has not yet been confirmed by Netflix, likely because the latest movie, released in 2025, is being treated more like a pilot rather than a stand-alone film, and Netflix appears to be assessing its reception and potential for continuation before confirming further installments.
Connie, a recurring character in the series, makes a reference to Pierce Brosnan as her favourite James Bond actor in "The Impossible Fortune." This nod to the actor, who plays Ron in the Netflix adaptation of the first novel, adds an interesting layer to the story.
With the release of "The Impossible Fortune" just around the corner, fans of the Thursday Murder Club are eagerly awaiting the next instalment in this captivating series. Whether you're a newcomer or a long-time fan, this latest book promises to deliver a thrilling mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end.
