Description

The second installment in the beloved and New York Times bestselling series from Richard Osman, also author of We Solve Murders

“It’s taken a mere two books for Richard Osman to vault into the upper leagues of crime writers. . . The Man Who Died Twice. . . dives right into joyous fun."
—The New York Times Book Review


Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim—the Thursday Murder Club—are still riding high off their recent real-life murder case and are looking forward to a bit of peace and quiet at Cooper’s Chase, their posh retirement village.
 
But they are out of luck.
 
An unexpected visitor—an old pal of Elizabeth’s (or perhaps more than just a pal?)—arrives, desperate for her help. He has been accused of stealing diamonds worth millions from the wrong men and he’s seriously on the lam.
 
Then, as night follows day, the first body is found. But not the last. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim are up against a ruthless murderer who wouldn’t bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. Can our four friends catch the killer before the killer catches them?  And if they find the diamonds, too? Well, wouldn’t that be a bonus?  You should never put anything beyond the Thursday Murder Club.
 
Richard Osman is back with everyone’s favorite mystery-solving quartet, and the second installment of the Thursday Murder Club series is just as clever and warm as the first—an unputdownable, laugh-out-loud pleasure of a read.

    One of the best books I’ve read in years! Richard Osman has certainly established himself as a leader in the murder mystery genre. Oh, and Joyce reminds me of my mom….

    Delightful writing. The author has a really comfortable storytelling style with his main characters coming across like old friends who don’t disappoint. The reader’s main challenge is not to go running off willy-nilly to purchase the next installment as soon as it drops.

    I just love this series. I adore the characters, laugh at the funny asides and it’s so sweet. The tattoo really got me 🥲. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

    Like revisiting old friends. I love these “characters”! Delightful, if improbable, plot. I can’t wait for the next one!
