The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman
3.0
TW: Modern day British cozy murder mystery, there are murders and gun violence, no graphic details. Law enforcement is shown in a positive light.
Although I haven't read the first book of the series yet, it isn't to hard to get up to speed with the main characters. Penny's story is still a mystery to me.
I have enjoyed Mr Osman when I've caught him on QI, WILTY, and HIGNFY, so I like his sense of humour. It might not be everyone's cuppa. A working knowledge of current British culture
The characters are fun and interesting. Even Connie Johnson. The author handles issues seniors have with sensitivity and humour. There is some diversity but the story is mainly told in a white cis voice. For a book of its genre the characters are decently developed.
The plot twist in the end was well done. I enjoyed this as a nice quick summer read.
