There are several disparate plot threads running through this novel, which eventually dovetail together in a most satisfying manner. Which, of course, is exactly what happens. He’s chosen to hole up in Coopers Chase retirement complex, which pretty much guarantees that no matter how she feels about the situation, Elizabeth can’t ignore it, and feels it’s important to bring the rest of the club into the picture as dangerous things might be about to happen in their cosy home. An old colleague, who is a little more to her than just a colleague, is in hiding and wants her help. As the characters are already familiar, it took me no time to get right into the thick of things, unlike the first book.Įlizabeth’s past in MI5 comes back to haunt her. This second instalment of the Thursday Murder Club is even better than the first. And if they find the diamonds too?

You can see my review of the first in series here. Without further ado, here is this week’s review – ‘The Man Who Died Twice’, second in the Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman.
I am, of course, doing a lot of reading, so I will have more reviews on the way, but also, hopefully, some other stuff to share as well. This week, I’m going to use ‘one I prepared earlier’, and then hopefully get back in the swing of things over the next few weeks. So, the good news is that it’s done, and I’m on the road back to the active life I am used to, although I could happily have done without the past week! The hospital was still happy to discharge me in 48 hours as planned, but I haven’t felt well until a couple of days ago, 8 days after surgery.
I was fine for the first 3 hours after waking in the recovery room – feeling great, in fact – but then my blood pressure took a nosedive to a stupid low (49/40), and it’s been a slog coming back from that. Having two full sedations in less than 6 months did not suit my body.
The op went absolutely fine, and the hip feels great. As I suspected, I haven’t been up to much for the last week, following my second hip replacement of the year.
