As we discovered in The Thursday Murder Club, Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron live in a retirement village and meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders. Having successfully solved the brutal killing that took place their doorstep, you would expect them to take a well deserved rest. However, fate has other plans………
The following week, Elizabeth receives 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.
So begins the Man Who Died Twice.…
As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim 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?
As the previous story this one moves at a cracking pace. Can Elizabeth’s old colleague be trusted? Who is working undercover? Are the secret service and the police both involved in the case? At the same time, there is a subplot involving Ibrahim and Ron. Are the cases somehow linked?
You’ll have to read it and find out. And I do recommend you read it.
