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. "The gang are going to be back this autumn in a brand-new book in the series, and there's lots to catch up on," Osman said in a note to fans. 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 spoke a bit more about the book on his The Rest is Entertainment podcast with Marina Hyde, confirming today: "I finished writing it yesterday – I wrote 'the end' yesterday. It's so satisfying." 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. Related: Best streaming services "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. "So I said to the publishers and agents and everyone, 'This is the name I want because of the song.' And every single one of them said, 'What song?' I said, 'What do you mean what song?' Nobody knew those 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." Alongside the new book entry, The Thursday Murder Club is gearing up for a movie adaptation on Netflix starring Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley, which is due for release later in the year.
