Liebe Leserinnen und Leser,kann unsere kleine Nischenradiosendung - die sich mit Produkten für einen doch größeren Markt, nämlich den der Literatur beschäftigt - eine kleine edgy Show sein, wenn sie schamlos Bestseller anpreist?Kann sie, aber nicht heute. Denn wir kommen gleich zu Beginn zum Urteil eines Wohlfühlbuches: der 5. Band der Whodunit-Reihe des Thursday Murder Clubs, im Original “The Impossible Fortune” ist eine große Empfehlung, deren Bestsellertum nicht hoch genug gewürdigt werden kann, schafft es doch Tausendsassa und Autor Richard Osman, neben einer spannenden Whodunit Story komplexere Charaktere zu erschaffen, deren Wertesystem manchmal überraschend konträr zu den aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Annahmen existiert und auch noch die komplexen Fragen des menschlichen Lebens nicht nur zu stellen, sondern auch Antworten zu finden. So. Hier sollten alle erstmal das Buch lesen, denn nun gibt es auch Spoiler und besonders ein Krimi lebt davon, überraschend zu sein (wenn er denn gut genug ist, ohne allzu unglaubwürdig - sprich hanebüchen - zu sein). Also: Spoileralert!Los geht's: The Impossible Fortune, im Deutschen irgendwie holprig “Der Donnerstagsmordclub und der unlösbare Code”. Da wollen wir aber nicht meckern, denn die ersten 4 Titel der Reihe wurden geradezu mustergültig übersetzt:1. The Thursday Murder Club - Der Donnerstagsmordclub2. The Man Who Died Twice - Der Mann, der zweimal starb3. The Bullet That Missed - Die Kugel, die daneben ging4. The Last Devil to Die - Der letzte Teufel stirbtEditorisch möchte ich aber kurz anmerken, dass ein Code nicht “unlösbar” ist. Vielleicht ist er nicht bekannt, d.h. es fehlen Informationen, aber unlösbar? Na ja.Besonders schön bei allen Serien* ist das Wiedertreffen bekannter Charaktere, die man sehr mag oder eben nicht, in allem lässt sich Genuss finden, aber das Gehirn giert nach Bekanntem, und so tauchen sie wieder auf: Die Protagonisten des Thursday Murder Clubs: Elisabeth Best, Ex-Geheimdienstmitarbeiterin, die ehemalige Krankenschwester Joyce Meadowcroft, Ex-Gewerkschaftsführer Ron Ritchie und der Psychiater Dr. Ibrahim Arif. Diese leben in der gehobenen Seniorenresidenz in Coopers Chase in einem fiktionalen Dorf und lösen Mordfälle. Ursprünglich wollten sie alte, ungelöste, sogenannte Cold Cases aufklären, beschäftigen sich aber dann - einer Mischung aus Neugierde, Impertinenz und Lebenserfahrung geschuldet - mit aktuellen Morden.Wer bis hierhin gelesen hat, ohne “The Impossible Fortune” zu lesen, muss ab jetzt mit Spoilern leben. Also: Der Thursday Murder Club hatte bisher ein eher ruhiges Jahr. Das ist nicht besonders verwunderlich, denn Autor Richard Osman begann im letzten Jahr eine weitere Serie. Dazu kommt, dass im fiktiven Thursday Murder Club Imperium Elisabeth, als Ex-Spionin eine der Treiberinnen des Clubs, ihren geliebten Ehemann Stephen verlor (Altersdemenz) und tief in ihrer Trauer lebte.Die Bücher dieser Reihe werden immer aus 2 Perspektiven erzählt. Neben der des Autors und einer sich daraus ergebenden allwissenden Draufsicht lesen wir gelegentlich Tagebuchaufzeichnungen von Joyce. Diese sind besonders interessant, zeigen sie uns doch klarer, welche Informationen dem Quartett der Rentnerdetektive eventuell noch gar nicht vorliegen, schenken aber auch reizvolle Interpretationen von Joyce, die uns daran erinnern, dass jede*r die Welt mit anderen Augen sieht. Eine der wundervollsten Fähigkeiten von Richard Osman ist es, mit liebevollen Augen auf die von ihm geschaffenen Personen zu schauen. Dabei sind diese im ersten Moment oft kurz holzschnittartig und prototypisch, wozu sicher ihre meist kurzen Nachnamen beitragen (Best, Ritchie, Lloyd, Johnson, Townes), nach und nach werden weitere Facetten sichtbar.Beginn des Plots ist die von Joyce seit Jahrzehnten ersehnte Hochzeit ihrer nicht mehr ganz jungen Tochter Joanna, die den im vorliegenden Werk neu eingeführten Gatten Paul (Brett) ehelichen wird. Die (Selbst)beschreibung von Joyces Erwartungen und sich daraus ergebenden Konflikte auf dem Weg zur Trauung, die denen ihrer Tochter fasst komplett diametral gegenüberstehen, sind schreiend komisch, aber auch von viel Wärme und Liebe geprägt. Durch Paul und seinen Freundeskreis ergeben sich für den Thursday Murder Club neue Herausforderungen.Zunächst einmal müssen alle nach der Hochzeitsfeier mit den Nachwirkungen klarkommen. Das fällt einigen sehr leicht (auf Schnaps verzichtet, Aspirin vom Schlafengehen mit einem großen Glas Wasser), einigen schwerer und einige sterben fast. Die Seiten, auf denen Richard Osman den Ex-Gewerkschafter Ron auf seine körperlich harten Auseinandersetzungen mit der Polizei während der Zeit der großen Bergarbeiterstreiks in Großbritannien zurückblicken lässt und das dann im Vergleich zum aktuellen Kater als unverhältnismäßig leicht abtut, gehören ohne Zweifel zur Kategorie “große Literatur”.Außerdem geht es um Autobomben, Geldanlagen, Cold Storage und Bitcoin. Besonders die beiden letzteren Punkte nutzt Richard Osman zu demonstrieren, wie wenig Ahnung alle altersübergreifend eigentlich haben, welche Mittel und Tricks sie benutzen, ihre Nicht-Ahnung zu verschleiern, und welche Möglichkeiten sich ergeben, wenn sie sich offenbaren und dadurch ganz neue Erkenntnisse gewinnen.The Impossible Fortune ist in einem schnellen Tempo geschrieben, dass immer wieder Pausen einlegt, wenn sich die Protagonisten untereinander treffen und miteinander sprechen. Dabei findet Richard Osman nahtlose Übergänge zu sehr lustigen Seitensträngen, wenn Connie Johnson, eine erfolgreiche Drogendealerin (die einst kurz im Knast saß, wohin sie der Thursday Murder Club gebracht hatte) als Mentorin tätig wird, weil ihr Ibrahim dies empfohlen hatte und es damit endet, dass sie einer sehr jungen Frau bei ihrem ersten großen Raubüberfall hilft. Überhaupt mischen sich bei Richard Osman “respektable” und kriminelle Lebensweisen wohltuend ohne Bewertungen, denn von irgendwas muss man ja leben. Ohne kriminelles Leben keine Gesellschaft und schon gar kein Thursday Murder Club. Dabei sind die Kriminellen unter den (ehemals) Reichen, unter den Gelegenheits- und unter den Berufskriminellen zu finden, die z.B. die Nachfrage nach Drogen bedienen. Nur weil etwas verboten ist, heißt es nicht, dass es automatisch schlecht oder gut ist und schon gar nicht, dass es keinen Markt dafür gibt. Das nimmt dann teils sehr komische Züge an, bis die Erkenntnis (bei den Leserinnen und den Handelnden im Buch) einsetzt, dass die zugrundeliegenden Werte nicht vergessen werden können, wenn das Leben ein gelungenes sein soll. Diese Erkenntnis gelingt dann den Protagonistinnen selbst, dabei stoßen sie immer wieder an Grenzen, zerstören diese aber auch. Manchmal wird es auch sehr traurig, wenn es um die Einsamkeit geht - teils aus falschen Lebensentscheidungen, teils aus Altersgründen, wenn enge Geliebte und Freunde sterben. Das zeigt aber auch, wie wichtig die selbstgewählten Bande sind, die Freunde, mit denen man sich austauscht, mit denen man sein Leben lebt.Die Sichtbarkeit der Älteren und Alten, denen oft mit Unverschämtheit, Arroganz und selbstgefälligen Annahmen begegnet wird, spielt nie eine offensichtliche Rolle, überrascht aber immer wieder. Jede*r blamiert sich und macht sich zur Feile, das können alle, auch die Jungen, und nicht zu knapp. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen (den richtigen Arschlöchern) gesteht Richard Osman seinen Figuren aber Würde zu, die auch durch gelegentlichen Slapstick nicht erschüttert werden kann. Da werden vegane Kaffees besucht, Krafttraining gemacht und zur Playlist “Sounds of the Rainforest” meditiert.Daneben schreckt Richard Osman nicht vor harten Themen zurück, diesmal ist ein wichtiger Nebenstrang des Whodunit die eheliche Gewalt. Suzie, die Tochter von Ron, setzt sich mit Waffengewalt gegen ihren Ehemann zur Wehr und bittet zunächst nur ihren Bruder, nicht aber ihren Vater um Hilfe. Der hat währenddessen mit enttäuschenden Erkenntnissen über sein Leben zu tun und wird am Ende einige seiner wichtigsten Lebensglaubenssätze über Bord werfen, um seiner Tochter und bei der Lösung des Falls zu helfen. Denn das kann man auch gut ohne Spoiler verraten: Der Thursday Murder Club wird seinen Fall lösen und nebenbei seine (und damit unsere) Welt besser machen. Die Schlüssel zur Lösung und zum Leben sind Liebe, Freundschaft und Solidarität. Und weil es Richard Osman erschaffen hat, passiert das Ganze in schöner Sprache, mit intelligenten Spannungs- und Handlungsbögen, überraschenden Wendungen und einem liebevollen Blick auf die Menschen. Viel Spaß beim Lesen! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit lobundverriss.substack.com

Last week Ron Ritchie and I were at Indiana University. We had a great time of Christian fellowship on a beautiful campus in the midst of all the fall colors. Besides the students, some of the townspeople had come up to our meetings, and among them was a young pastor by the name of Lou who showed up for every meeting. He was very spiritually hungry. He sat down and talked with me at great length, telling me some of the problems he was facing. He seemed to welcome the opportunity to share with an older, more experienced Christian. (Obviously, I am too young-looking to inspire that kind of confidence, but Ron Ritchie, with his grey hair and beard, awakened that sense of desire in this young man!)

Ron Ritchie pursued his undergraduate degree in education, and then in 1966 went on to finish his Th.M. degree at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas. Ron was called to begin full-time ministry at Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church in Walnut Creek, California. In 1969, he was called to join the staff at Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto, California, where he served for some 27 years with his spiritual gifts as a pastor/teacher, evangelist and visionary, and eventually in the role as an elder. In 1997, the Lord called him to join the staff of Fellowship Bible Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado as a pastor and elder. And then, in 2000 the Lord (in concert with a group of godly men and women) encouraged Ron to begin a non-profit organization called Free at Last. This ministry is designed to enable him to use his spiritual gifts within the local church, and to continue both his national and international conference ministry.
