The Thursday Murder Club is back at it again with a second addition to this cozy mystery series! In my opinion this book is better than the first with showing us the bond forming between the club members. They truly care for one another and would do anything to help each other out. It is so great to see how close they have become! The pace of the book is also very good, it's a faster pace and doesn't let up until the last pages of the book. I appreciate that! I also like how the Murder Club members have gotten close to other friends they made from the first book, like the two officers and Bogdan. It's great to see development like that! This was a quick little cozy mystery and it was amazing to see the how clever these club members are. And to break up some of the story with Joyce's diary entries is always a delight to see! Such a quirky and interesting character truly one of my favorites in the series! I am looking forward to seeing what the other books have in store and can not wait to see what happens to these clever senior citizens next!
