<p class="kt-adv-heading4654_dd9ef8-4b wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_dd9ef8-4b">Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He&#8217;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.<br><br>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&#8217;t that be a bonus?<br><br>But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn&#8217;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?</p>

<h2 class="kt-adv-heading4654_6e370f-61 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_6e370f-61">Plot Overview</h2>



<p class="kt-adv-heading4654_c28cd2-fc wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_c28cd2-fc">Okay, so this time our little gang of clever retirees is back in action. As usual, they try to stay out of trouble—but trouble clearly hasn’t had enough of them. Things kick off when someone from Elizabeth’s past shows up unexpectedly. What begins as a small favor quickly turns into a much bigger mystery, with stolen diamonds, long-buried secrets, and plenty of unexpected twists along the way.<br><br>This book focuses a lot more on Elizabeth and her backstory. It feels a little different from the first one—less of a classic whodunit and more like a cozy spy mystery. We get to dig deeper into who Elizabeth really is, beyond just the sharp, fearless leader of the group. I loved learning more about her, and it adds a whole new layer to her character.<br><br>But don’t worry, the rest of the gang is still very much around. Joyce is as delightful as ever, Ron brings his usual charm, and Ibrahim adds his thoughtful touch. Their friendship is still at the heart of the story, and their dynamic is just as fun and warm as before.</p>



<h3 class="kt-adv-heading4654_a09827-27 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_a09827-27">What I Loved</h3>



<p class="kt-adv-heading4654_59d5ff-68 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_59d5ff-68">It’s honestly hard to say what I loved most about <em>The Man Who Died Twice</em>. I’ll admit I’m a bit biased, I’m a big fan of this series, but I truly think this book stands out beautifully. The shift from a classic whodunit to something more like a cozy spy mystery was such a smart move. The storyline involving the stolen diamonds, Elizabeth’s past, MI5, and the mafia was just so entertaining. It gave the book a fresh twist without losing the charm that made the first one so special.<br><br>I also really enjoyed the addition of new characters like Connie Johnson, Douglas, and Poppy. They each bring something unique to the story and somehow fit in perfectly with the rest of the cast. Nothing about their presence feels forced, they just click.<br><br>And of course, I can’t forget Joyce’s journal entries. This time around, they’re even bigger, funnier, and full of her usual charm. Honestly, I could read a whole book from her perspective alone. She’s so random, but in the most clever and delightful way. Every time her voice came in, I couldn’t stop smiling.</p>



<h3 class="kt-adv-heading4654_551497-eb wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_551497-eb">What Surprised Me</h3>



<p class="kt-adv-heading4654_bfb716-1d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_bfb716-1d">I really loved how Bogdan has a bigger role in this book. His character has a lot of more page time since last one, and it was such a nice surprise. On the surface, he still seems a bit dodgy and dangerous, but the more we see of him, the more you realize how loyal, thoughtful, and gentle he can be. He’s full of surprises, and honestly, some of my favorite moments in the book involve him. He adds a quiet strength to the group, and I’m so glad he got more time to shine.</p>



<h3 class="kt-adv-heading4654_2c211f-f8 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_2c211f-f8">What Didn’t Work for Me</h3>



<p class="kt-adv-heading4654_eb3a62-08 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_eb3a62-08">I loved spending more time with the main cast in this book. The group dynamic is one of the best things about this series, and it’s always a joy to see how they play off each other. <br><br>That said, one thing that didn’t quite work for me was how little time we got with Ibrahim. Something happens early in the book that pulls him back a bit, and even though he’s still involved and helping the team, he’s more in the background than before. I really missed his quiet logic and thoughtful perspective. He brings a unique energy to the group, and I found myself wishing he had more page time.</p>



<h3 class="kt-adv-heading4654_f6eca0-ca wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_f6eca0-ca">Vibe Check</h3>



<p class="kt-adv-heading4654_93a872-3f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_93a872-3f">Okay, so this one definitely leans more into a spy/heist vibe, and I really enjoyed that shift. There’s more action this time, not in a high-speed-chase kind of way, but in the sense that the stakes feel higher, the tension is sharper, and the plot has more layers. We’ve got stolen diamonds, secret identities, and some very shady characters, which gives the story a fresh, lively energy.<br><br>It still keeps the cozy feel and clever humour that made the first book so charming, but now it feels like it’s operating on a slightly bigger stage. There’s a subtle sense of adventure running through the story, and that adds a fun twist to the usual mystery format.</p>



<h2 class="kt-adv-heading4654_dd7437-5f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_dd7437-5f">About The Plot Twist</h2>



<p class="kt-adv-heading4654_d83c00-a6 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_d83c00-a6">This one doesn’t offer a big plot twist, at least not in the traditional sense. You kind of see things coming and start to piece it all together alongside the characters. But honestly, that’s not a bad thing. Like I mentioned earlier, this book has a different vibe from the first one. It’s less about the big reveal and more about the journey, following the clues and watching the layers unfold.<br><br>You get a clear sense of where the story is heading, and that actually works in its favour. And while there aren’t any huge shocks, there are still a few fun surprises tucked in at the end to keep things interesting.</p>



<h2 class="kt-adv-heading4654_984700-96 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_984700-96">Conclusion</h2>



<p class="kt-adv-heading4654_6c4cc2-ed wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading4654_6c4cc2-ed">The Man Who Died Twice is definitely worth the read. It’s smart, funny, and full of heart, just like the first book, but with a fresh new take that keeps things interesting. The mix of cozy mystery and light spy drama works so well, and the characters are as lovable and clever as ever. Even with less time with some favourites, it still delivers everything I love about this series. If you enjoy character-driven stories with charm, wit, and just enough mystery to keep you guessing, this one absolutely deserves a spot on your TBR.</p>

<h2 class="kt-adv-heading3841_b402ec-4a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_b402ec-4a">My Thoughts</h2>



<p class="kt-adv-heading3841_850176-70 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_850176-70">Let me start with a confession (no pun intended — okay, maybe just a little!): I didn’t expect much from <em>The Thursday Murder Club</em> when I first picked it up. I thought it would be a light, cozy mystery, just something easy to read because, well… everyone was talking about it. Total hype pick.<br><br>But just a few pages in? I fell completely in love with the characters and the world they live in. I didn’t see it coming, and honestly, it’s clear now that this series has become my all-time favourite cozy mystery.<br><br>The tone, the clever structure, and the emotional depth pulled me in more than I expected. It’s fun and quirky, yes, but it also has so much to say about aging, friendship, and staying curious about life. I totally get the hype now!</p>



<h3 class="kt-adv-heading3841_e2ac0b-10 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_e2ac0b-10">What I Loved</h3>



<p class="kt-adv-heading3841_5cc59c-19 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_5cc59c-19">All of the characters in <em>The Thursday Murder Club</em> bring something fun, surprising, or sweet to the story, but for me, Joyce’s chapters are the best! Her diary entries are smart, funny, and full of little details. She notices everything (and everyone), and she writes about it in a way that’s both kind and curious, which makes it even better.<br><br>What I love most is how she describes things. She can talk about sandwiches, cardigans, or someone’s eyebrows, and somehow make it the funniest thing you’ve read all day. Even when she’s chatting about something small, it always makes me smile. Her voice feels real, like a friend who’s always got something new to say.<br><br>She’s not just there for laughs, though. Joyce brings a lot of heart to the story. Through her, we see what it’s like to grow older and still want to be needed and part of something exciting. <br><br>The rest of the group is great too. Elizabeth is sharp and always seems to know more than she shares, with a strong, take-charge energy. Ron is loud, funny, and loves to stir things up—his arguments with the developer had me laughing. Ibrahim is calm, thoughtful, and the voice of wisdom for the group. But Joyce? Joyce is the glue that holds them all together!</p>



<h3 class="kt-adv-heading3841_8c80f9-71 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_8c80f9-71">What Surprised Me</h3>



<p class="kt-adv-heading3841_8235c4-66 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_8235c4-66">One of the most special things about <em>The Thursday Murder Club</em> is how it shows a group of strangers slowly becoming like family. Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron, and Ibrahim are all very different people, and they didn’t start out as close friends. But through their weekly meetings (and solving the odd murder), they grow closer. They share laughs, look out for each other, and form real, lasting connections, the kind that feel chosen.<br><br>This story reminds us that it’s never too late to find your people. Even in a retirement village like Coopers Chase, where life is supposed to slow down, they find purpose and friendship in each other. They become more than neighbors, they become a team. A found family. And that might be the most heartwarming part of the whole book.</p>



<h3 class="kt-adv-heading3841_7cffdf-ed wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_7cffdf-ed">What Didn’t Work for Me</h3>



<p class="kt-adv-heading3841_197c34-3b wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_197c34-3b">At the beginning, I felt a little lost. It took a couple of chapters to get used to Coopers Chase, its big cast, and the switching between Joyce’s diary entries and third-person chapters.<br><br>With so many characters, it can feel like meeting an entire village all at once. And like many cozy mysteries, the story is a slow burn, the mystery doesn’t kick in right away because there’s a lot of world-building up front.<br><br>But honestly? I didn’t mind. I loved spending time with the characters and their quirky world. Once I settled in, I didn’t want to stop reading.</p>



<h3 class="kt-adv-heading3841_6ee4cb-ce wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_6ee4cb-ce">Vibe Check</h3>



<p class="kt-adv-heading3841_698dca-b3 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_698dca-b3">Coopers Chase might be a retirement village, but it’s definitely not quiet. There’s always something going on, secrets, friendships, a little romance, old memories, and just the right amount of chaos.<br><br>The book feels warm and funny, but it also has serious moments that make you think. The mix of British humour and real emotion gives it a special tone that stays with you long after you finish reading..</p>



<h2 class="kt-adv-heading3841_4999c7-0d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_4999c7-0d">About The Plot Twist</h2>



<p class="">No spoilers here, but yes, there are a few twists. I had plenty of guesses, and I was still wrong. The reveal didn’t come with a big dramatic moment, it was quiet, clever, and really well done.</p>



<p class="">Richard Osman doesn’t throw in surprises just to shock you. He takes his time, layering small details until everything clicks into place. It’s the kind of twist that makes you want to flip back to the beginning and spot all the clues you missed.</p>



<p class="">And it’s not just the main mystery, even the parallel storyline is interesting and has its own layers. It adds more depth and keeps you wondering how everything will connect.</p>



<h2 class="kt-adv-heading3841_c6aef1-22 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3841_c6aef1-22">Conclusion</h2>

<p class="kt-adv-heading3737_82c99b-96 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3737_82c99b-96"><strong>My favourite old folks are coming back this fall — and I’m kicking things off with A Thursday Murder Club Reading Challenge!</strong><br><br><em>The Thursday Murder Club</em> has completely stolen my heart , hands down, the best cozy mystery series I’ve read in ages. I love every single one of them. It’s clever, it’s warm, it’s unexpectedly emotional in the best way&#8230;<br><br>They’re back for a new mystery on September 25 (UK) and September 30 (US and Canada), and while I’m counting down the days until <em>The Impossible Fortune</em>, I thought, why not take some time to reread the first four books while I wait for this new adventure at Coopers Chase?<br><br>If you’ve never read any of them, or you’re thinking of rereading like me, this is the perfect time. Before the next body drops (I mean, the next book drops&#8230;) — come join me!</p>



<h2 class="kt-adv-heading3737_f6e51f-2a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading3737_f6e51f-2a">A Quick Briefing About the Series</h2>



<p class="">The Thursday Murder Club is the brilliant, bestselling cozy crime series by Richard Osman, which first launched in 2020 and quickly became a global favourite. The fourth book, <em>The Last Devil to Die</em>, was released in 2023, and now the gang is returning for their next mystery this fall.</p>



<p class="">Each story is set at Coopers Chase, a quiet (but not too quiet) retirement village in the English countryside, where four unlikely friends — Joyce, Elizabeth, Ibrahim, and Ron — meet every Thursday to dig into cold cases over tea and biscuits. But for reasons no one can quite explain, this charming little community seems to be surrounded by real crimes, and naturally, the club keeps getting involved.</p>



<p class="">Every new book, it&#8217;s a new case filled with sharp wit, hidden clues, and characters you’ll wish you could be friends with in real life. Alongside the cozy crimes and clever twists, you’ll also find heartwarming moments and a surprising emotional depth that will steal your heart in the very best way.<br><br>Now, if you’re in the mood for something cozy, clever, and just a little bit criminal (in the best, very fictional way), A Thursday Murder Club Reading Challenge is absolutely for you.<br><br><strong>No police training required, just a nose for mischief and a soft spot for unconventional detectives.</strong></p>

He&#8217;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.<br><br>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&#8217;t that be a bonus?<br><br>But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn&#8217;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?</p>

Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. A decade-old cold case—their favorite kind—leads them to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers.<br><br>Then a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit. Her mission? Kill or be killed. Suddenly the cold case has become red hot.<br><br>While Elizabeth wrestles with her conscience (and a gun), Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim chase down the clues with help from old friends and new. But can the gang solve the mystery and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again?</p>
