I love Joyce, Ron, Ibrahim, and Elizabeth - their friendship is awesome. Tbh I never figure out the perpetrator in any book, but I definitely didn’t guess it in this one. I’m excited to read the third book and discover more about the characters’ lives. I think what makes this series so special is how the people are described. Gotta love the club lol.

The Man Who Died Twice is a ripping good yarn, a cozy spy mystery. The group of friends from the previous book continue their funny, witty, kind relationships and deepen them. Joyce is beginning to give Elizabeth a run for her money when it comes to sussing out clues. I really like Bogdan and hope to see more of him in future books. I listened to the audiobook. Lesley Manville did an excellent job. The whole thing is a great and a smart ride. I already have the next audiobook queued up.

Great fun still, although maybe not quite as captivating as the first book in the series. Still very much looking forward to seeing what the gang gets up to next.

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.
