Osman has intentionally created a causal, mundane vibe to underpin his books. They join ranks with her celebrity colleagues to trawl through the past and look for clues.Īs the series progressed the bunch managed to rope in pretty much everyone they know including a Polish man who mainly acts as their “muscle”, a drug baronnes, and two police officers. The Bullet That Missed follows the bunch as they investigate a cold case involving the muder of TV presenter, Bethany Waites. Joyce is the overbearing, nosy yet (apparently) loveable mother/grandmother and finally Elizabeth, arguably the ring leader, is an ex-intelligence officer. The club is certainly an odd bunch with Ron being a well-known unionist who is often seen as the people’s hero (like a glorified Mick Lynch), Ibrahim is an intelligent and composed therapist. Osman being a comedian and TV presenter has, from the start, created a comedic, cozy tone alongside the casual, cold-blooded murders that just you know happen from time to time. The gang comprises of four pensioners who meet every Thursday to solve cold murder cases. As with all of Osman’s books, the novel is set in a quiet little retirement home in Kent.
