Reader reviews for The Man Who Died Twice: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.36 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.

4.36 / 5 (320290 total reviews)

Readers hailed this sequel as a sharper, funnier, and more emotionally rich follow-up, praising its beloved ensemble—Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron—alongside snappy dialogue and deeper character development. The plot’s higher stakes—stolen diamonds, MI5 entanglements, and mafia threats—deliver a twisty, fast-moving caper that balances humor with poignancy about aging and friendship. Joyce’s diary entries and the ensemble’s chemistry were frequent highlights, and the audiobook narration drew strong praise. A minority noted occasional meandering, an overstuffed feel, and uneven diary sections, but most found the ending satisfying and the series momentum strong.

Readers say this book is:

witty heartwarming entertaining character-driven twisty fast-paced laugh-out-loud charmingly British emotionally resonant occasionally convoluted

From the publisher

The second gripping novel in the New York Times bestselling Thursday Murder Club series, the first of which Kate Atkinson called A little beacon of pleasure in the midst of the gloom. . . SUCH FUN!

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.
