Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing—a dead man in the middle of her shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive.

India Allwood grew up wanting to be an actor. Armed with a stack of index cards (for research/line memorization/make-shift confetti), she goes from awkward sixteen-year-old to Broadway ingenue to TV superhero. Her new movie is a prestige picture about adoption, but its spin is the same old tired story of tragedy. India is an adoptive mom in real life though. She wants everyone to know there’s more to her family than pain and regret. So she does something you should never do—she tells a journalist the truth: it’s a bad movie.

Publisher's Summary
An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!
A new mystery is afoot in the fourth book in the Thursday Murder Club series from million-copy bestselling author Richard Osman
It's rarely a quiet day for the Thursday Murder Club.
Shocking news reaches them—an old friend has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing.
The gang's search leads them into the antiques business, where the tricks of the trade are as old as the objects themselves. As they encounter drug dealers, art forgers, and online fraudsters—as well as heartache close to home—Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim have no idea whom to trust.
With the body count rising, the clock ticking down, and trouble firmly on their tail, has their luck finally run out?
And who will be the last devil to die?
What the critics say
“So what is it about the Thursday Murder Club books that make them so broadly appealing? The simple answer is that they are really good. The writing is pithy and fresh, so much so that I kept writing down lines from The Last Devil To Die. . . But there’s more than just quotable sentences at work here. Osman’s plots play fair with the reader, carefully placing “red herrings” to fool the reader into picking the wrong possible murder suspect—a gambit that has improved with each successive book. The endings feel both inevitable and earned: the exact combination one wants in a good mystery. . . Osman’s greatest strength is fusing the puzzle-mastery of Christie and her Golden Age peers with emotional earnestness and wry humor.” —Esquire
“The latest adventure of the Thursday Murder Club is also its best... Even if the mysteries weren't absorbing — which they are — Osman's books, like Alexander McCall Smith's, would work simply because it's such fun to spend time with these people. What sets Devil apart from its predecessors is the deftness and humor with which Osman confronts a subject that's completely not funny: dementia... In the end, the murder club books are not really about crime but about friendship and finding ways to stay involved in life.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune
“What is truly special in the books are the characters, whose age allows for a beautiful kind of interaction… For all the fizz of jokes and romance, the books carry with them a sense of grief and sadness which becomes much stronger in The Last Devil to Die… The kindness is his books comes out of something greater for Osman. It’s how he wants the world to be and it’s how he thinks the world is, if only we could realize it.” —Town & Country

I Miss Joyce!
The members of the Thursday murder club are part of my life. They are so real and some are so unique and unusual that when I’m finished each book, I truly miss them. The story line is very clever. Thank you Richard for creating them. And thank you Ms Shaw for bringing them to life.

My favourite Murder Club yet!
Loved the addition of a Canadian character! The line “God cries every time someone lies to a Canadian.” is one I will be quoting for years to come. And Stephen’s storyline was the most poignant piece of writing I’ve come across in years. It was like holding my own fathers hand again.

Gut Wrenching in Spots
If you have a loved one with Dementia, this is a gut-wrenching story. It follows well from the previous 3 books, and I enjoyed the whole storyline in general, but the Stephen story line (Elizabeth's husband with dementia) hit a little too close to home for me. I think it is well written and thoughtfully done, but it upset me none the less. If you don't know much about dementia, I view this as a good dramatization of a possible story line.
I do (however) recommend the book. The presentation of the audiobook is excellent, and the production is good as well. The book itself is great, if you enjoyed the previous 3 books (I would recommend reading them before this), you will love this one as well.
I hope there is another one coming, but, maybe this storyline has run its course, we shall see. Good job Mr. Osman and Ms. Shaw!

Perfect
Entertaining, thoughtful crime mystery that will make you smile, laugh, and cry - the characters are real, relatable, ageless even though the main 4 are 80ish, and so interesting! . Been a fan since the first book of the series and will be waiting patiently for book 5. The narration is also excellent!
