The second in The Thursday Murder Club series, the first of which Kate Atkinson called "A little beacon of pleasure in the midst of the gloom. . . SUCH FUN!"
The Thursday Murder Club is still riding high off their recent real-life murder case when an unexpected visitor arrives at their posh retirement village. An old colleague of Elizabeth’s, the man is now on the lam after stealing diamonds from the wrong man, and he desperately needs the Club’s help.
 
As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron in the hunt for a killer. But this time they are up against a ruthless murderer who wouldn’t bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. . . And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus?
 
Can the four friends find the criminal—and the missing diamonds—before the killer find them?
 
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.
