It is a treat.
The first one of the Thursday murder Club series was very good in itself and I was having a fear that (as it happened with so many writers), this must not be let down. It is better than the first book, and it itself is a great compliment. It has a great plot and equally good assortment of characters. Joyce is my favorite.

Great read
This book is so wonderful mainly because of the way the beloved characters come to life! Perfectly balanced between being heartfelt and humourous

Decent mystery, worth a weekend
I liked the plot and Joyce's intuitive character however Bogdan and his nuances need to be brought out much more clearly

Witty, funny and entertaining
Like a cup of good tea with a shot of rum. Witty, funny and very readable. The characters are so well illustrated, I seem to know a real person just like either of them. Good plot and laughs are never cheap. Very recommended.

Lives Up to Its Predecessor
The elderly members of the Thursday Murder Club - Elizabeth, the one-time spy; Ibrahim, retired psychiatrist; Joyce, the practical nurse; and Ron, the fiery union organizer - are happy to start meddling again when one of Elizabeth’s ex-colleagues turns up at their retirement village, on the run after stealing diamonds from a “fixer” who, in turn, was holding them for a mafia kingpin. Quite soon, though, the bodies begin to pile up and the race is on to solve the mystery before our quartet find themselves part of the body count….I thoroughly enjoyed “The Thursday Murder Club,” Mr. Osman’s first novel, to the point where I was almost afraid to pick up this second book because what if the magic didn’t work the second time around? Well, no need to worry, Dear Readers - “The Man Who Died Twice” is just as delightful, poignant, hilarious and compassionate as the first, and our main characters continue to be by turns acerbic, witty, thoughtful and heart-felt - above all, deeply alive. The plot contains many twists and turns, some of which I anticipated but by no means all, but the real joy of this book is once again meeting these characters. And it also contains some of the most polite and gracious bad guys you’d ever want to meet! Highly, highly recommended.
