![]() ![]() This part of the plot is secondary for a good long while, although Viktor and the Viking both of whom seem like they are serious bad guys off-page end up doing a lot of good-guy helping out. The three new additions are all entertaining characters as well Mike is a tv host (Joyce has a bit of a crush at one point) who wants justice for a colleague presumed murdered (that’s the club’s current mystery), and the Viking (who’s actually Swedish) has a vendetta against an old frenemy of Elizabeth’s and uses threats against other members of the gang to try to force Elizabeth to murder Viktor (former bigshot KGB). Donna doesn’t get as much investigating but her connection with Bogdan is really cute and even though he’s got some secrets himself and that bothers me a bit, they’re fun to see together. ![]() ![]() IT’s the secret-keeping that bugs me a little because some of that could really matter to other members of the group Connie’s secret at least makes some sense because she might like Ibrahim, but she’s also an admitted killer and drug-dealer who has managed to do pretty well for herself in prison. I’ve also noticed there seems to be this emphasis on a lower level bad guy/gal turning good, or at least helpful. ![]() Same general gang but it seems like most everyone who was single in book 1 is pairing off in book 3, and nearly everyone has some big secret they don’t tell the others. I missed episode two of the Thursday Murder Club, but I don’t think it caused me too much issue with following The Bullet That Missed (book 3). ![]()
