The Man Who Died Twice by Richard OsmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Man Who Died Twice picks up with the Thursday Murder Club retirees where the first book in the series left off. This time, Elizabeth’s past comes looking for her, in the form of an ex-husband who also is a spy with MI-5. He is hiding out at Coopers Chase because some diamonds went missing from his last job, a clandestine look around the home of a mafia middle-man. Did he or didn’t he steal the diamonds, and if he did, where did he hide them? Elizabeth and Joyce are on the case. In the meantime, Ibrahim gets mugged, for which Ron and Bogdan plan to get justice, and Fairhaven cops Donna and Chris are staking out Connie Johnson, a bad piece of work who controls the local drug trade. Author Richard Osman has created another charming yarn, with laugh-out-loud moments and plenty of obfuscation that keeps the mystery going. Sure to be another winner with readers who loved The Thursday Murder Club.
