It's the following Thursday.
Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He's made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very real threat to his life.
As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus?
But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn't bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians.
Can the Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Big-brained TV presenter Richard Osman’s debut novel, The Thursday Murder Club, became a surprise runaway 2020 success. Now comes the sequel, surely destined to do just as well. We rejoin septuagenarian amateur sleuths Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron at their “luxury retirement village” the following Thursday. A letter from a former colleague throws the gang into a deadly caper involving stolen diamonds and a ruthless gangster. As the corpses pile up, can our unorthodox crime-crackers catch a killer and pocket the jewels in the process? It’s a perky thriller which pulls you in and keeps you gripped, lent extra pace by its changing points of view and ingenious twisting plot. It's a quintessentially British whodunnit, all tea, cake and politeness until it bares its teeth. Steven Spielberg has snapped up the film rights and frankly you can see why. Osman’s vivid fictional universe has sly wit and irresistible charm. It’s also a wise warning to never underestimate the elderly.
Customer Reviews
Not your typical sequel
This is not one of those second books where the plot feels contrived to conform with, and which underperforms when compared to the original. No, this is fresh, funny and impossible to put down.
Fantastically good read
I loved this book! Very clever, great character insights along with amusing plots and subplots galore.
Loved it
