The Thursday Murder Club is worried about Elizabeth. She is still grieving the loss of her husband and they aren't sure what to do for her. Joyce is ecstatic as her daughter is getting married to Paul. Ron and Ibrahim are going about their lives. They all attend the wedding including Elizabeth.
When things get too much for her, she goes outside for some air. There she is approached by the groom's best friend, who tells her that someone is trying to kill him and that he heard she might be able to help him. The man, Nick, tells Elizabeth that he and his friend, a woman he and Paul both knew from their university days, had been in business together for years. They have something that is very valuable and only they can retrieve it. When the woman is killed and Nick goes missing, the Thursday Murder Club goes into action.
But of course, there's always more to the story. Ron is involved in family matters and worried that he may be getting too old to be the protector that is so much a part of his identity. Ibrahim is treating a non-reformed criminal and just when he thinks he's making progress with her, she brings a naive young girl into her criminal world. Can all these issues be solved?
This is the fifth Thursday Murder Club mystery and it is just as much a joy as the others were. The supporting cast of Donna and Chris from the police, Bogdan the handyman who can do anything, and Ron's family are there. The way these individuals all work together and put each other first is an amazing testament to the human spirit and it's all funny on top of that! This book is recommended for mystery readers.
