The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman

The Last Devil to Die (Thursday Murder Club, #4)
The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Osman is a great storyteller of life and knows the ups and the downs, what you can get away with and when you should ask for help. The old gang’s back with their usual quirks, but there’s also a great sense of sadness as they have to deal with the scenarios that are thrown at them, and some of their methods can be quite controversial at times. There’s also some emotional moments to be had as we learn a little more about each character. There’s also the great sense of one-upmanship while still remaining English and being incredibly polite. The great deception is only revealed to the reader in the conclusion, without the awareness of the other characters which allows the saga to continue. But even after finishing the book, it’s not immediately clear who the title refers to, and it’s up to the reader to make the call. If you look at the cover, the devil’s horns could also be seen as quotation marks.
