Beyond the Book: The last devil to die – Richard Osman
I cannot deny that I eagerly await the release of a new installment in the "Thursday Murder Club" series year after year. As soon as I grab it at the bookstore, I rush home to carve out a few hours for myself to peacefully immerse in the story. For me, it feels like a special occasion.
Richard Osman has crafted a bittersweet and unique world with a sea of empathy, a healthy dose of humor, and a slow-burning crime plot in the fictional luxury retirement home of Fairhaven—a world that's a pleasure to delve into. I won't claim this book offers answers to life's big questions, but it's certainly a refreshing read after heavier tales like Hermann Hesse's "Beneath the Wheel" or Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray."
From here on, the review contains spoilers. If you wish to read the story without any prior knowledge, delve into the novel first!
