Viking Books UK have announced that Book 5 in Richard Osman’s beloved The Thursday Murder Club series will be published in September 2025.

Viking publishing director, Harriet Bourton, said: "Richard Osman has an inimitable talent for creating characters who immediately feel like friends and worlds you love to spend time in. Whether it’s We Solve Murders or The Thursday Murder Club, you are guaranteed to enjoy yourself—and we are so excited that his world-famous gang of sleuths will be back on the scene next autumn”.

This announcement comes hot on the heels of Richard’s publication earlier this month of his new crime series, We Solve Murders, which explores a daughter-in-law and father-in-law detective duo.

Congratulations, Richard!
