Most readers are used to a slightly disappointing sequel, but I shocked myself by loving this book more than the first Thursday Murder Club book. I loved the higher stakes, added action/danger, and more complicated plot. Our favorite octogenarian cast is back and better than ever - every character is crafted so lovingly and it’s so easy to fall into their lives and their happenings in this wonderfully organized cozy suspense/murder mystery. There was lovely witty banter as always, and plenty of genuine heartwarming moments along the way. I keep devouring these books and won’t know what I will do when I have to wait for a new one. I hope that all the Thursday Murder club books will be this good, because what an absolute delight. Highly recommend to anyone who loves a good murder mystery but doesn’t want to be kept awake staring at their ceiling in the dark!

About the Finnish translation & audiobook: Mun mielestä käännös oli hyvin onnistunut, ei ainakaan kuulostanut tönköltä. Toimi hyvin äänikirjana. Lukijalla oli kyllä aika unettava ääni :D

Following these four people who feel completely fleshed out, they live seperate lives from each other and even from the book itself, it truly feels like each of them were taken from our world and popped together in Coopers chase to see what trouble they'd get up to.
The vulnerability and struggle Ibrahim goes through in this story and the support and love of this friends.
The connection between Ron and the people he loves, his grandson bringing out the child in all of them.
The strength and independence of Elizabeth being broken down by finally realised she can depend on her friends. The stunningly, heartbreaking tender relationship between her and Steven.
Bogdan, everyone loves Bogdan. His friendship with Steven keeping him with us a little longer.
And of course Joyce. Always joyful, always underestimated and always up to mischief.
I love following these people as they go on the adventures of a lifetime, teaching us that no matter how old you get, you always have more to learn, more to do and more to love.
