It was an absolute joy to be reacquainted with the quartet of retirees, Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim as they as they paw over cold case files before finding themselves embroiled in a real-life MI5 scandal. This book, which sold 114,202 copies in the first week, picks up right where The Thursday Murder Club left off. Can The Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them?” And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn’t that be a bonus? But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn’t bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. “As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very real threat to his life. He’s made a big mistake, and he needs her help. Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. The blurb reads: “ It’s the following Thursday. Pointless host Richard Osman’s second novel in the hilarious record breaking series, The Man Who Died Twice, is every bit as brilliantly bonkers as the first – if not even more so. The Thursday Murder Club series is like a slice of Victoria Sponge – quintessentially British, jam packed and that feeling that you don’t want it to end.
