I am lucky to have a friend who shared the third Thursday Murder Club book with me ... it made for a very short wait time for me, to get the next entry in this popular series by Richard Osman! The Bullet That Missed has the murder club working on an old, cold case ... their favorite kind. Alas, it turns more serious when a new foe shows up with an ultimatum for Elizabeth ... kill someone or be killed herself. Why? And will she do so? There are interesting locations this time: a jail cell with an espresso machine, and a swimming pool that looks like it's floating in the air. Lots of fun twists to this one.

What happens when nightmares come true? Things were going well between Fenella and Daniel when he gets an email telling him a woman he met in a class 'across' is coming for a visit. This is the cause of the nightmares. Well, that woman arrives, with several friends in tow, and expects to spend a lot of time with Daniel. All is not what it seems with this little group from an even smaller island than the Isle of Man. Neighbors and Nightmares takes sort of a dark turn for this series, but it's a good read nevertheless. It is part of the Isle of Man Ghostly Cozy series by Diana Xarissa.
