Another good one by Richard Osman! this time with some more sections that made me laugh out loud and I fell even more in love with the characters! Definitely found the last like 20 pages to be a bit of a drag, but that often happens once you solve the mystery! Pic looking forward to reading the next one

Absolutely cracking mystery, with lots of well-developed characters, and a fun mystery at the centre. The audiobook was particularly good too.

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!!!
