I ended the audiobook listening at 2.25x speed. That can’t be the point of a cozy mystery. I think this genre just isn’t for me.

I loved the first in the series but definitely preferred this sequel and can honestly say I'm hooked even though I'm late to the party!

The Man Who Died Twice returns us to those loveable characters of The Thursday Murder Club and explores a new murder mystery along with the heartbreaking elements of growing old. Osman throws in enough quips to keep things somewhat light-hearted when a pick me up is needed, resulting in an utterly enjoyable experience and deep connection with our main characters.

If you're yet to read the sequel, I highly recommend!

Summary: The Fab Four are back at it! Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim are back in the follow-up to the The Thursday Murder Club, along with their police friends Chris and Donna, and faithful (if slightly sketchy) sidekick Bogdan. This time Elizabeth's ex-husband, also a former spy, has made the mistake of stealing a fortune in diamonds from a mob boss, and he wants them back ASAP. The foursome try to hunt down a murderer and find the missing diamonds, with their usual hilarious misadventures.

Thoughts: This book was so much fun to read and I flew through it. Joyce in particular makes me laugh with her journal entries and endless flirting. The chase for the murderer is well- constructed and the execution reminds me a little of a Guy Ritchie movie in the best way. Twists and turns punctuated by chuckles! I will most certainly be reading the third book.
