The Man Who Died Twice

Last year Richard Osman introduced us to a group of residents of Coopers Chase Retirement Village in Kent who belonged to the Thursday Murder Club. Ron, a former trade unionist, Ibrahim, a former psychiarist, Joyce, a former nurse, and Elizabeth, who once worked for the secret service, spend their spare time solving crimes, initially cold cases but lately crimes closer to home.

When Elizabeth receives a letter realating to a former case she has to investigate, especially as the sender of the letter died many years previously. The letter leads her to a former colleague who needs her help as a gangster is looking for him and a bag of diamonds that he may have stolen. The members of the Thursday Murder Club insist on becoming involved in the case.The Secret Service is also interested.

Meanwhile Donna and Chris from the local police are trying to build a case against Connie the local drug dealer and when one member of the Thursday Murday Club is mugged the other members plan their revenge.

Amongst the murders and hunt for diamonds there is plenty of humour as the members of the Thursday Murder Club investigate and Joyce reflects upon the proceedings in her regular journal entries. The books in the Thursday Murder Club series are fun to read.Relax and enjoy the ride.
