Fiction. Mystery. HTML: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 unputdo

More of the same as the first in the series, with the same characters developing, and introduces Elizabeth's husband. Spies, schemes and deceptions. ( )

I am hooked

Started reading these books on a whim not expecting much. Holy cow! These books are so good! Really keep you guessing til the end of each one ( )

This is the second book in the Thursday Murder Club series (book 3 is out now and book 4 forthcoming).
The four members are back in this book involving stolen diamonds, a violent mobster and a threat against the life of someone from Elizabeth’s past…
Elizabeth, a former M15 operative has a ton of “great connections”; Joyce, a former nurse and woman of many skills, she loves solving puzzles; Ibrahim is a retired psychiatrist who has a keen eye for reading body language and Ron is a retired union leader and a man known for getting things done.
Three things are going on in this book:
DCI Chris Hudson and PC Donna DeFreitas are trying to stop a drug queenpin’s murderous operation; Ibrahim suffers a brutal mugging; and someone from Elizabeth’s past needs her help. Oh…and the missing diamonds.
I really enjoyed this book more than the first one. I felt like we were really engrossed in the escapades of Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim and their cohorts. ( )

Utrolig gøy når man kjenner til karakterene fra bok 1.
Nydelig klimaks og plottwist, klarte ikke legge fra meg boken.

I just love this series. Again it was witty and clever but also treats it older characters with respect and dignity. I've got book 3 on order from the library.
