Richard Osman shares exciting Thursday Murder Club news: “It’s going to be a fun one”

Richard Osman has shared exciting news for The Thursday Murder Club fans – a brand new book in the series is coming!

The author revealed that the fifth story in the series will be called The Impossible Fortune and is out on September 25, marking the first entry since 2023’s The Last Devil to Die.

In his message to fans, Osman shared that the group will return with a fresh installment in the series this fall, brimming with events to reconnect with.

Pre-order: The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman

After unveiling the title, he teased that that the novel is “going to be a fun one” that will feature “a wedding, an uncrackable code, and a fortune more unusual than you can imagine” – and of course, murders.

The writer also promised “more news soon” with something “exclusive” coming for fans in the weeks ahead.

Osman recently discussed his book “The Rest is Entertainment” on his podcast with Marina Hyde, and he confirmed that he completed writing it yesterday, stating “I wrote ‘the end’ yesterday. It feels so fulfilling.

Teasing the plot, he said much of the theme focuses on “luck and chance and what life throws at you”, before revealing that he nearly called it something else.

“The inspiration all the way through, I wanted to call it Fortune’s Always Hiding, which is from ‘I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles’, the West Ham song… because Ron in the book is a West Ham fan,” he explained.

In response to their inquiry about my preferred title, I explained, “I’ve chosen this specific name due to a song.” Surprisingly, everyone asked, “Which song?” I was taken aback because it seemed they weren’t familiar with the lyrics…

“I wanted to call it that and no-one understood it, and I was thinking Impossible Heist, and I put the two together and got Impossible Fortune, which does everything it needs to do for me.”

In addition to the freshly added book, “The Thursday Murder Club,” a movie version is underway on Netflix, featuring Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie, Pierce Brosnan, and Ben Kingsley. The film will be released towards the end of the year.

The Impossible Fortune is published on September 25.
