Welcome to Miles of Books. I'm your host Sarah Bowen-Shea. Today, Alison Wies and I are going to talk about new novels, as well as a favorite classic from each of us. Hello, Ellison.

Hey, Sarah. How are you? I am good. I'm good and I'm as always delighted to be speaking with you.

Me too. So let's, we'll admit that we were joking around and talking television and a few

books beforehand. And our husband's clothing styles.

Oh, enough said.

Enough said.

Okay, so let's hop into our first novel, as it was one we both gobbled up with delight.

It is The Impossible Fortune, a Thursday Murder Club mystery by Richard Osmond.

And as it says, right there in the subtitles, this is part of an infinitely readable Thursday Murder Club Mystery series, with this being the fifth in the series.

Long may it run. Here, here, here, yeah. I know that he segued off once to do one called

We Solve Murders that was supposed to sort of bring in a new crew.

And I have yet to talk to anybody that is hoping he's going to write a second.

We all are fixated on this one.

Did you read it?

I read it.

I enjoyed it.

So I'm hoping that it's kind of an offshoot, like a, you know, a spur off the main railroad line. Okay. You're the first. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to make a note of that. Oh, no, no, no, no. I had a text from, I think it was Emily, a Bammer in Georgia. and I'm pretty sure that's who it was, who was saying how much they enjoyed it.

Okay.

All right.

And I was like, Bammer in Georgia, and I'm pretty sure that's who it was, who was saying how much they enjoyed it.

Okay.

All right.
