The Man Who Died Twice: (The Thursday Murder Club 2)

What a book , what a story.

Excellent ! A page turner and no nonsense fun ! ! Go for it if you love humour and mystery .

Absolutely hooked to this series

The first one of the Thursday murder Club series was very good in itself and I was having a fear that (as it happened with so many writers), this must not be let down. It is better than the first book, and it itself is a great compliment. It has a great plot and equally good assortment of characters. Joyce is my favorite.

This book is so wonderful mainly because of the way the beloved characters come to life! Perfectly balanced between being heartfelt and humourous

I liked the plot and Joyce's intuitive character however Bogdan and his nuances need to be brought out much more clearly

Very well written and entertaining. I want to read the first book.

Excellent! Highly recommend!! Richard Osman has a very specific style of writing that keeps you interested and glued to the book!

Con humor inglés, entretenido

Serviço impecável da Amazon!

Polecam

‘Exceeds expectations.’ That’s a phrase that I am now confident applies to Richard Osman’s work on his Thursday Murder Club series. Exceedingly fun; gently creative, whilst coloring (mostly) within the lines of how these sorts of things are expected to be done. A panoply of interesting characters, with so few disappointments, and those few so minor, that one happily ignores the small flaws here and there. The best works all have a maker’s mark that perfection would never allow, don’t they? Osman’s books are smart, clever (no, those are decidedly NOT the same thing), fun, and oddly uplifting. Don’t believe this last? Read this book, and then ask yourself if you don’t have a greater fondness for men named Ibrahim and Bogdan than you did before. And women named Joyce. I won’t mention Elizabeth, because she doesn’t need the help. It’s an injustice to Osman to say that his series fits well within the Agatha Christie thriller/mystery genre, for it suggests that Christie outranks him. And that’s only true to the extent that she wrote more than Osman has (so far), and did it first. But with regard to quality of output, Osman more than holds his own. If I were trapped by a blizzard in a remote cabin, with only two books there to read, one by la grande dame herself, the other by Osman, I’d pick up Osman first. Osman is not a producer of Great Literature, a la Tolstoy, Steinbeck, Pamuk, Helprin, or Stendahl. He produces lighter fare, but doesn’t do so carelessly, and to say Osman’s not part of the Pantheon is really just to say that damned good work doesn’t necessarily qualify as stuff for the Hall of Fame. His work is well crafted, nicely paced; the characters clearly drawn, distinct, memorable; the plot tight, parts well-joined. Meant to be stimulating, pleasant, and humorous without ever being too much to bear. Very highly recommended.

Simply an effortless read, full of humour and great characters, all framed in a who-done-it style. And at least as good as the first in the series, The Thursday Murder Club. Maybe slightly better in that the main characters are more rounded and expanded upon. Onto book 3 for me.
