Richard Osman strikes again with The Thursday Murder Club! Honestly, such a great book, very different and unique which is so refreshing! I thoroughly enjoy The Thursday Murder Club series and I can't wait for book 3!

It is so hard to put this into words but honestly it was simply AMAZING! I flew through this book so quickly.
This book.... with its twists and turns that you would really and truly never expect or be able to predict, mystery, thriller and secrets - seriously... pick up a copy ASAP, it really will not disappoint.
