Great read
I've just started this book and it is as compelling as the first. It is a really easy read and the characters are all likable and there is a great deal of humor throughout.
I would recommend this book for ages over 50 as it is set in a OAP residential home and it will resonate with people of that age group.
It could also be for younger readers as their grandparents might be living in that type of accommodation.

Disappointing, just like his first book
Well, somehow I waded through this but I never felt the real urge to identify the villain(s). It was light reading but not to the standard I'm used to.
I read Wilbur Smith, Jeffrey Archer, Dan Brown, Desmond Bagley, Hammond Innes and David Baldacci if I want mystery thrillers. Sadly, Mr Osman is not to their standard, but it was a nice try and often a gentle story of elderly people, out to pasture but still full of a bit of zip. A bit like me, really.
Someone will pick up this book, now donated to a charity, for 50p and have a good 50p's-worth. Spending quids on this and its predecessor is not something I'd recommend.Read full review...

A really good read!
A really entertaining read with great, believable characters and a few 'red herrings'. I suspected most of the characters at one time or another throughout the book but I wasn't expecting the revelation at the end. The whole story moved at a good pace and didn't get bogged down in unnecessary details.Read full review...

Great read.
This book is easy reading. The sort of book you can’t put down. Short chapters. No bad language which has to be a bonus. Well worth reading. Can’t wait for the next book.

My goodness I can’t wait for the next book
If you’ve not discovered the Thursday Murder Club yet read it first as this is the second book, the way Richard brings each character to life is simply wonderful being of a certain age myself I would love to be a member of the club, yet this is written for a wide age group, you can help laughing out loud feeling sad and wanting to find out what happens next Read full review...

The man who died twice
I got the book for my wife, she was excited because she has read the first book and was waiting for the 2nd one to come out, she said that it was well worth the wait, once she pick it up, she couldn't put it down, well done Richard Osman đź‘ŤRead full review...

Does what it says on the cover.
Another great book from Richard Osman. Not the most complicated story line, but great to read through each twist and turn to finally find whodunit. Can't wait for his next book.
