The second gripping novel in the New York Times best-selling Thursday Murder Club series, soon to be a major motion picture from Steven Spielberg at Amblin Entertainment 

"It’s taken a mere two books for Richard Osman to vault into the upper leagues of crime writers...The Man Who Died Twice...dives right into joyous fun." (The New York Times Book Review)

Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim - the Thursday Murder Club - are still riding high off their recent real-life murder case and are looking forward to a bit of peace and quiet at Cooper’s Chase, their posh retirement village.

But they are out of luck.

An unexpected visitor - an old pal of Elizabeth’s (or perhaps more than just a pal?) - arrives, desperate for her help. He has been accused of stealing diamonds worth millions from the wrong men and he’s seriously on the lam.

Then, as night follows day, the first body is found. But not the last. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim are up against a ruthless murderer who wouldn’t bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. Can our four friends catch the killer before the killer catches them? And if they find the diamonds, too? Well, wouldn’t that be a bonus?  You should never put anything beyond the Thursday Murder Club.

Richard Osman is back with everyone’s favorite mystery-solving quartet, and the second installment of The Thursday Murder Club series is just as clever and warm as the first - an unputdownable, laugh-out-loud pleasure of a read.

In the peaceful and picturesque village of Coopers Chase, where Agatha Christie societies thrive and the residents indulge in literary discussions, a shocking murder disrupts the tranquil atmosphere. The victim is none other than Elizabeth Best, a wealthy recluse found lifeless in her grand home. Amidst the bewilderment and grief, the Thursday Murder Club, a group of inquisitive retirees led by the astute Joyce, gather to solve the perplexing crime.

With their keen intellect and unwavering determination, the club members embark on their investigation. They delve into Elizabeth's past, uncovering hidden secrets and long-held grudges. As they sift through clues and interrogate suspects, they uncover a web of deceit and betrayal lurking beneath the quaint village's façade.

As the investigation deepens, the Thursday Murder Club members face unexpected danger and personal challenges. Joyce, with her sharp wit and relentless pursuit of justice, becomes a target of the killer. Meanwhile, her fellow club members, Ron, Ibrahim, and Penny, face their own demons as they confront the dark secrets of their past.

The Man Who Died Twice is a captivating and witty mystery that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Richard Osman masterfully weaves together a complex plot, engaging characters, and clever twists that will leave readers guessing until the very end. With its blend of humor, suspense, and heartfelt moments, this novel is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries and those who appreciate a good whodunit.
