The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman

A spy from Elizabeth’s thrilling past comes back to haunt her in the second of the Thursday Murder Club series.

The body count rises at the Coopers Chase retirement home.

Elizabeth’s retirement is turned upside-down by the reappearance of her ex-husband. He’s a dashing, womanising, old spy with tricks up his sleeve and stolen diamonds in his pocket. Elizabeth and Joyce waste no time at all getting embroiled in another funny, twisty adventure of murder, intrigue, and gangsters.

For Ibrahim, however, a different game is afoot, as he struggles to recover from a vicious attack. Is life better lived safely or bravely?

I thoroughly enjoyed pitting my wits against Osman in the race for whodunnit. Entertaining and well-observed, The Man Who Died Twice is a perfect beach read or rainy day companion. I’m looking forwatd to the next - The Bullet that Missed.
