The Man Who Died Twice (The Thursday Murder Club Book 2)

Product Information

It's clear that in just two books, this series has become a favorite of mine. I can't wait for the next installment! I am learning that it is important to stop sometimes, and just have a drink and a gossip with friends, even as corpses start to pile up around you. Which they have been doing a lot recently. With the investigation going into multiple directions and chaos going around every corner, it’s a mystery how the cases are even solved.

It was also so fun having more Bogdan. Bogdan, a Polish man of many useful talents, helps around Cooper's Chase and in this one, is particularly helpful to Elizabeth. Their relationship is so special. In present day, Sue tells Elizabeth that she has three armed dudes working for her and they’ve located the diamonds at Joyce’s house. Sue has the driver take them to Joyce’s — but as soon as they arrive, Sue is shot by Bogdan. (It’s soon revealed that Bogdan incapacitated the three armed dudes and told them to tell Sue that they’d found the diamonds.) I love all these people and they are all so funny. Being in their heads is a pleasure and kept me laughing. There's Chris, dating Donna's mom...ew, although she really is delighted and actually set them up. Elizabeth's heartstrings are being pulled by her ex, naïve Joyce is a hoot, Ron lets his heart show as he strongarms his way through whatever needs to be done, and battered and devastated Ibrahim is the best friend a little kid can have. Think of the Thursday Murder Club itself as a senior version of ‘The A-Team’. . .Funny, moving and suspenseful. . . So delicious, even adorable . . A wildly entertaining book.” Elizabeth is everything I ever wanted to be when I grew up and kinda still is. She's a badass old lady and the smartest person reading the room at any given time. I love that she learned to lean on her friends a little this time around. And her Stephen! God, I love him and I can see why Elizabeth loves him, too.When things turn deadly, Elizabeth calls the troops to action, and naturally, they are eager to help… especially if they can find those diamonds as a bonus to solving a murder!

The Man Who Died Twice is an entertaining read about four septuagenarians, aka The Thursday Murder Club, whose attempt to solve a murder puts them in the crosshairs of a mysterious businessman, a brutal drug dealer, the mafia, and MI-5. This is a laugh-out-loud, enjoyable read that kept me both on my toes and smiling.The author amplifies the shenanigans of the characters in this book, and none of the multiple stories seem out of place. In The Man Who Died Twice you really get to know the characters that you enjoyed in the The Thursday Murder Club. I honestly thought I couldn't like them any more than I did, but then Osman decided to prove me wrong.
