I really enjoy this series, it's funny, poignant and the murder mystery has me guessing until the end. The stand-out part of this book, that stops it from being another cosy Christie-esque mystery, is the heart - you really connect to the 4 residents of Coopers Chase retirement village. In this story, you learn a little more about Elizabeth's past but my favourite part was understanding Ibrahim more. Plus, some bad guys got what was coming to them!

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!

ABSOLUTE PURE COMFORT!!!
A read that will help you cheer up and not  be to stressed but at the same time keep you at the edge of your seat. Also ,shockingly reflective when it came to Donna and Ibrahim. 
Didn't think it was possible but this book is even better than the first. 
I'm gonna sit here and wait patiently for the release of The Bullet That Missed <3
