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.

Wow. I really was blown away again! Richard Osman nailed it once again. I loved the exploration of the characters. They are all so real! I especially loved the exploration of Ibrahim. All the characters are complex, but especially Ib. I loved the humor, and I also loved the emotional, quieter moments from the characters.

The "bad guys" were believable while still fitting with the lighthearted tone of the story overall. I really enjoyed this one, and I'm definitely looking forward to The Bullet That Missed!
