Richard Osman has given us another delightful entry in his Thursday Murder Club series: The Man Who Died Twice (#1,012). (See my post of 5/4/2020.) His colorful cast of senior citizens is back (except, of course, for those who died in the first book!). Things have gotten a bit dull around Cooper's Chase lately. The construction development continues at the top of their hill, but life hasn't really changed much for Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahaim. Not until the day Elizabeth receives an invitation to tea at a neighboring unit. The name on the note is someone from her distant past. Since that person never actually existed, who could possibly be summoning her now?
The tempo begins to pick up around Cooper's Chase after Ibrahaim is badly mugged. The Thursday Murder Club gang closes ranks with Chris and Donna from the Fairhaven police to lend their aid, tangling with a powerful local drug dealer, assorted murders and a fortune in stolen diamonds. Red herrings abound, and can the eyes really believe what they see? The mysteries (and there are several!) aren't tied up until the very last line of The Man Who Died Twice. What fun!
