Description

An instant New York Times bestseller!

The second gripping novel in the New York Times bestselling Thursday Murder Club series, soon to be a major motion picture from Steven Spielberg at Amblin Entertainment

“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.

    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.

    What a delightful read! Seniors with adventure in their bones hug every experience as it greets them—in whatever form it presents itself. Living can be full of life and these four solid friends swallow it whole! FUN. YES!

    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!

    A perfect summer mystery read. I laughed out loud, while still solving along and eager for each page turn. I am grateful to these characters for being both easy to know and love, and for being so truthful about age, and fear, and life. There is dignity here; also, a witty and worthy mystery.

    Very good read. I’m a murder mystery fan and this series is one of the best. Question: what did Joyce say to get Iberhim out of the house?

    This book is a delight, as was Mr. Osman’s first in this series. Wonderful characters, engaging mysteries, and more than a few laugh-out-loud moments. I cannot recommend this read too highly! My only complaint is the wait between books - please hurry!!!
