I really enjoyed this. A funny and easy read. I think I enjoyed the first book more but I will definitely continue with the series.

I'd avoided this series for a while because of the hype but since I eventually read the first one last year and really liked it, I thought I'd continue with the series. I listened to the audiobook again this time and it was a great way to experience the story. It was fun returning to these characters and I thought the mystery was really engaging. Osman's writing is very clever and I like the gentle humour.

Wonderful sequel to Thursday Murder Club. Full of suspense and devilish plot twists. The Thursday Murder Club amp up their shenanigans and get into more trouble than they bargained for.

Absolutely cracking mystery, with lots of well-developed characters, and a fun mystery at the centre. The audiobook was particularly good too.

Sequels don’t usually hit the same as their predecessors. BUT. The Man Who Died Twice may have been even better than The Thursday Murder Club. I LOVED the focus on spies and the deeper dive into Elizabeth’s past. It was a book I never wanted to end! I laughed out loud many a time and marked several pages to go back to later. Soooo excellent!!!
