Thursday Murder Club Mysteries: Audiobooks in Order

Cosy crime might be the single most forgiving genre for audio: dialogue-driven, warmly comic and paced for a Sunday afternoon rather than a sprint. Each instalment runs roughly 11 to 12 and a half hours, so the whole quartet fits inside 47 hours of listening.Interestingly, listeners rate the sequels above the debut. The Thursday Murder Club opens at 4.4 stars while The Man Who Died Twice, The Bullet That Missed and The Last Devil to Die all hold 4.7, evidence of a series that settles into its stride. Start at the beginning regardless; the friendships are the plot.Ideal for listeners who like their murders gentle, their humour dry and their detectives old enough to know better.
