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.

another lovely installation of the thursday murder club some of the developments in this book explain the stuff in the last. honestly though i thought the plot was a little far fetched, but the characters were all so great
