This is the second book in the Thursday Murder Club series (book 3 is out now and book 4 forthcoming). The four members are back in this book involving stolen diamonds, a violent mobster and a threat against the life of someone from Elizabeth’s past… Elizabeth, a former M15 operative has a ton of “great connections”; Joyce, a former nurse and woman of many skills, she loves solving puzzles; Ibrahim is a retired psychiatrist who has a keen eye for reading body language and Ron is a retired union leader and a man known for getting things done. Three things are going on in this book: DCI Chris Hudson and PC Donna DeFreitas are trying to stop a drug queenpin’s murderous operation; Ibrahim suffers a brutal mugging; and someone from Elizabeth’s past needs her help. Oh…and the missing diamonds. I really enjoyed this book more than the first one. I felt like we were really engrossed in the escapades of Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim and their cohorts. 2nd in series about the Thursday Murder Club. They are a quirky group of elderly people from a retirement community who come together each week to try to solve old mysteries. Except when there is an actual murder. Funny and smart. Kirkus: Osman follows The Thursday Murder Club (2020), his supremely entertaining debut, with an even better second installment.Coopers Chase, an upscale retirement village in the British countryside, is home to the Thursday Murder Club, which consists of shrewd, deadly former spy Elizabeth Best, retired nurse Joyce Meadowcroft, psychiatrist Ibrahim Arif, political activist Ron Ritchie, and three honorary members, fixer Bogdan Jankowski, DCI Chris Hudson, and Police Constable Donna De Freitas. A letter from a dead man plunges Elizabeth and her friends into a dangerous case involving local crooks, the Mafia, and MI6. The letter is signed by Marcus Carmichael, whose corpse Elizabeth had seen pulled from the Thames years earlier, but it turns out to have been written by Elizabeth?s ex-husband, Douglas Middlemiss, who knew that name would get her attention. Douglas isn't dead, but he's still in a spot of trouble involving stolen diamonds and an angry go-between who holds valuable items for a variety of crooks. When a group of teenagers steal Ibrahim's phone and then kick him in the head after he falls down, the group plots revenge, little knowing that the two problems may soon become one. When Douglas and his handler, Poppy, are shot dead, the group must race MI6 and several vicious crooks to neutralize a number of killers and find the diamonds. Elizabeth, who knows so much about Douglas, is assigned to decode the clues he left behind, but each of her seemingly innocuous friends has skills that enhance the group?s ability to survive and place blame where it belongs while covering up a myriad of minor offenses.A clever, funny mystery peopled with captivating characters that enhance the story at every quirky turn. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
