The Man Who Died Twice (Thursday Murder Club #2) by Richard Osman
The
Man Who Died Twice is the second offering from British comedian Richard Osman, and if
you haven’t already read his first book, The
Thursday Murder Club, stop what you’re doing and get it now. Seriously. It’s
that good.
This second book picks up a week after the first one ends and
brings back all of the best characters from the first book. The group of four
septuagenarians, Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim, set off to solve their
next mystery after Elizabeth receives a letter from a new resident at Cooper’s
Chase retirement community with whom she shares a bit of history. Osman’s
talent at combining humor and the quaintness of a retirement community in the
English countryside with more “gritty” topics like murder, drug dealing, jewel
theft, and the mafia really shines in this novel, and you can really tell that
he enjoys writing these characters as much as the readers love reading them.
