THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE RECORD-BREAKING, MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING THURSDAY MURDER CLUB SERIES BY RICHARD OSMAN ---------------------------------------------- 'Moving, hilarious, brilliantly suspenseful' Jeffery Deaver 'A thing of joy' Kate Atkinson 'The tonic we all need' Shari Lapena It's the following Thursday. Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He's made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very real threat to his life. As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. 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. Can the Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them? ---------------------------------------------- 'This slick sequel will leave you buzzing' The Times 'Fiendishly clever and brimming with wit on every page' Shari Lapena 'He's not only done it again, but he's done it even better' Philippa Perry 'Twisty, witty fun' Sunday Express 'Superbly entertaining' Guardian 'Full of humour and heart. I loved it' Harlan Coben 'Darkly funny, offbeat and deftly written' Irish Independent 'As gripping as it is funny' Evening Standard 'If you liked The Thursday Murder Club, you're in for a treat, as this sequel is even better' Good Housekeeping 'Warm, funny and oh-so British' i 'A properly funny mystery steeped in Agatha Christie' Araminta Hall 'It's like reading ice cream... a pure pleasure' Linwood Barclay 'Osman's world is a soothing place to be' Sunday Telegraph 'Pure pleasure to read' Observer 'They'll cradle you through any winter of discontent' Richard and Judy, Daily Express

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary digital ARC. This has not influenced my review or rating of this book, and I was not compensated.

So this series seems really hit or miss for people but I love it. It gives me a lot of the warm and empathy you get from Louise Penny without some of the heavy-handedness, and I truly love all the characters. I thought this one was even better than the first book because you're familiar with the cast of characters and can dive right into the mystery. Plus there were lots of twists and turns in this one that kept me guessing.

I'd been wanting to read both of the stories in this series without actually knowing much about it. Just because of the covers and the buzz. I found this, book 2, in a library sale for $1 so I bought it and when I read that it stars seniors, I couldn't resist reading this without obtaining and reading book 1 first.

Major kudos to Mr. Osman for not including a major rehash of their previous exploits in this edition. I've stopped reading series for that sin. Looking at you in particular Daniel Silva. I am eagerly looking forward to reading the first tale even more now.

I'm a 62 year old American and I dearly wish I could live Cooper's Chase! Even if I'm not talented enough to join the Thursday Murder Club, I'd love to live in their thrall. Instead I might have to climb another mountain and find my own intimate circle of like friends to share adventures with. Obviously, I found all of the characters delightful for novel purposes, even the villains and those lie somewhere in-between. I felt the pace was good, personally I like a book that becomes a page turner that I can't put down in the later half. For me, the humor ranged from sly smiles to laughing out loud while kicking my heels! I'm not looking for realism in most novels, especially mysteries, so I found the twisty plot enthralling. This was an altogether smashing read!
