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.
