A wedding. A code. A murder. Time is ticking . . .

It's been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favourite criminal.

But when Elizabeth meets a wedding guest who fears for their life, the thrill of the chase is ignited once again. A villain wants access to an uncrackable code and will stop at nothing to get it.

    Die Reihe, die nicht nachlässt

    Vieles war auch beim fünften Teil so wie immer, wie Humor, Schreibweise und die brillanten Charaktere und deren Zusammenspiel. Irgendwie bin ich aber nicht ganz so reingekommen. Es war trotzdem gut, trotzdem spannend, aber vielleicht hat das Springen zwischen den vielen Erzählern mich ein wenig irritiert. In dem anderen vier Büchern wurde das auch gemacht und es ist eine super Technik um eine volleres Bild der Geschichte zu erzählen. Diesmal war es mir aber etwas zu viel. Trotzdem hat es sehr viel Spaß gemacht zu lesen und ich freue mich auf eine Fortsetzung.

I really love this series but I could have done without Connie. If it was for me they would have locked her up and thrown away the key.
