The Man who Died Twice |
The follow-up to 'The Thursday Murder Club (bwl. 100 Spring 2021), another hilarious piece of froth. Plot-holes and unlikelihoods abound, but who cares? Our intrepid pensioners once again out-maneuver the pros and bring, all in one go, diamond smugglers, drug dealers, young delinquents, MI5 and the American Mafia to justice. Pure escapism, thank you Mr Osman!

The Thursday Murder Club |
Want a bit of escapist froth? This runaway best-seller might fill the bill. Set in a retirement community next to an abandoned Convent and its tranquil cemetery, the club's members scorn bookgroups, French conversation or jigsaws but pass the time solving long-forgotten murders. Suddenly, their quietude is shattered by not one but two real murders. Undaunted, inspired they set out to discover who, why, what and when? It's silly, unpretentious fun. Book two is promised later this year.
