Book 2 in the Thursday Murder Club series 

The Thursday Murder Club are back and have another case to solve. This time Elizabeth is contacted by someone in her past who needs her help. There’s diamonds, mafia, drugs, and murder for the four septuagenarians to investigate. But can they find the villains before they become a target?

My thoughts: I didn’t overly enjoy the first instalment of this series so I didn’t rush into starting book 2 but I really enjoyed this one. 

Now that we know the 4 loveable septuagenarians this story begins at a fast pace and has you gripped from the first page. 

There are lots of things going on within this book and although the main characters are elderly you should not be fooled into thinking this is a cosy mystery. This is a twisty, puzzling story which will keep you guessing right up to the end. 

The best part of these books is the amazing lead characters. I loved spending more time with Ibrahim, Ron, Joyce and Elizabeth and can’t wait to read what they get up to next.
