The Man Who Died Twice: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery #2 [B1136]

2022 PB in nice clean condition. The second installment in the beloved and 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.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Thoroughly enjoyed this second book in the series, even though it's been a couple of years since I read the first one. I'd forgotten how much I loved the characters and it was so easy and enjoyable to be back in their world. It's like comfort food in a book!"; "A charming murder mystery. Characters are witty and realistic!"; "I missed the first installment of A Thursday Murder Club Mystery, but it was easy enough to pick up this second story. The four regulars meet a bunch of people all intertwined. Many end up dead and rightfully so. The side story of two British police officers where one is dating the mother of the other is fun. Then there's a main plot as to whether two people are really dead despite their bodies being positively identified. Fun book."
