A very interesting narrative style, which keeps you wanting to know what’s coming next, but cleverly fills in background and keeps the plot moving along. Ticked all thr boxes for me!
I listened to this one and it wasn’t a bad listen, i didn’t enjoying as much as other reviewers seemed to though. A cosy mystery. 3.5⭐️
Another mystery for The Thursday Murder Club to solve from the comfort of their lovely care home. The band of amateur super sleuths, led by Elizabeth, gather all the evidence and work together to solve the puzzle. Lots of fun, humour and friendship makes this a super read. Thank you to Net Galley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
Another Thursday murder club gem that keeps you guessing.
Even though you get all the relevant information, and you think you’re following the plot, you don’t really work things out properly until the book’s finished! It’s very clever, with some wickedly funny bits spread throughout, Joyce’s Instagram username bit cracked me up, and Ovaltine is a terrific fake name, just saying. This is a joy to read.
Unfortunately this book was not for me, it was a bit slower than I would like and it just didn't hold my attention. I am sure other people will love it!
I adored this book and this series is shaping up to be a firm fave!
I love being back with the characters, and seeing more of their backstories. Joyce made me laugh at loud multiple times with her Instagram mishaps, it felt so realistic- My mum also thought that was hilarious, but her sister (a Joyce if there ever was) did not understand that joke at all- and that made it all the more funnier to me!
Highly recommend if you enjoy cosy mysteries
Very enjoyable and yet again, I didn't work out who the killer was. Love the pensioners humour and wit
I was hesitant to read The Man Who Died Twice as I had seen so many reviews stating it was not as good as the first book inn the series but I loved this. The characters are fabulous and there is never a dull moment. I can't wait for the third book.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free e-copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
I do really enjoy the tongue in cheek humour of the Thursday Murder Club and this quartet of octagenarions hasnt failed to amuse and entertain whilst they search out the missing diamonds and with that a killer!
I love how it is all so simple for them and yet there are twists and red herrings all over the story but reading it doesnt feel like work.
Lots of fun to read and I am looking forward to the next
I would say this book is better than the first, it builds upon what we already know about the characters and builds on their relationships. They are the sort of group you would love to have a cup of tea and chat with. Even Bogdan has a bigger role in the books and cements himself as one of the gang.
Brilliant storyline, very well told, all loveable characters and with twists and turns till the end. Would definitely recommend.

I loved this book, a true escapist read to curl up with on a rainy day.
4 residents in a residential home for the Elderly once again find themselves caught up in murder and mayhem.
Hilarious and clever.
Definitely recommended.
Super read.
It was light-hearted yet gripping at the same time.
Loved it as much as his first one. I enjoyed seeing how the lives of the characters evolved.
What a gifted author.
I liked the first but loved the second dose of Thursday Murder Club!
Just when you think it is tied up and you sit back in your seat, another twist send you forward. Elisabeth is still my mysterious favourite, you get enough of a tease about her to see tasters of her life but not the whole picture.
My name is already down for visit number 3!
I thoroughly enjoyed the first installment, and had the same experience with this one. I love the characters, the storyline, the ending, just everything. A lovely, interesting, fun, sad, captivating read.
The author's debut novel blew me away, and arguably the follow up is even more impressive. Characters are more fully developed and the plot is much more intricate and well plotted. Really looking forward to the third.
I enjoyed Thursday murder club so of course I had to get the sequel. I really loved this book, I love the writers humour and it made me laugh out loud (and cry at times) but mostly laugh! The characters are brilliant, my only slight criticism is that sometimes the characters were too much the same and I would have liked to see some diverse characteristics. I enjoyed the storyline and the love between the friendships in the book. Overall, a great book.
Second book in the "series", but you would have had to have read the first book to understand the characters and their associations.
Good twists and turns in a gentle mystery. Good banter from Joyce, and Elizabeth shows her steely prowess in solving the puzzles.
I loved richards first book and I possibly enjoyed this one even more, I didn’t think he would be able to beat the first one but he did. His writing style and creativity are second to none.
I liked the first book in the series and was excited to get into the sequel. I think enjoyed this one even more, now that we already know the characters. Looking forward to reading more from this series!
I really enjoyed this book but perhaps not quite as much as I enjoyed the first. Ron is my favourite plumber. Haha! Keep them coming Mr Osman.
