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!!!

I think this was meant to be thrilling, but unfortunately for me it missed the mark for me. The vast amount of characters and the plot constantly changing made it challenging to keep up 🥲 It was fun involving Douglas (Elizabeth’s ex-husband) and I felt more attached to the gang (Elizabeth, Ibrahim, Joyce and Ron) throughout, but I felt like I had to refer back quite often to capture the plot repeatedly.

I can’t believe MI5 spy Sue Reardon had killed Douglas and Poppy. Diamonds really do make a difference 😫 I don’t know if I was paying enough attention to capture that she’d done it!

All in all, it was okay, and I’m going to try the next one in the series in the hopes that it redeems itself, but for me the first book in the series was the best 🥹
