Product Information

Elizabeth is a former secret agent with MI5, with crucial know-how, instinct, and access to police and British intelligence resources. I am happy to check reality at the door and immerse myself in this world where, for the most part, the good guys win and the bad guys don’t. His first three novels, The Thursday Murder Club , The Man Who Died Twice and The Bullet That Missed were multi-million-copy record-breaking bestsellers around the world.

MY THOUGHTS: I just loved The Thursday Murder Club, but approached The Man Who Died Twice (don't you just love that title! Ibrahim is the psychiatrist with photographic memory skills, introverted, scared of taking life changing decisions in his life.First off I have to comment on how wonderful it is to be reunited with all these familiar characters. However, The Thursday Murder Club members may have taken on more than they can handle this time as the international spies, crime bosses and other criminals involved don't seem to have any issue in taking out OAPs if they get in their way. I would love to see how that develops, especially because it provides a lot of potential for both conflict and humour. Following the publication of The Thursday Murder Club, Osman said that he had decided to continue writing due to its success outside the United Kingdom, [1] saying, "I was very worried about that thing, 'Oh it's a celebrity writing a novel', which, of course, is one of the worst phrases in the English language.

Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron get caught up in a mysterious case surrounding one of Elizabeth’s ex-husbands. Bogdan (whose name I heard as BobDan for the entirety of the 1st book), Donna, Chris, Patrice, and everyone else that they add to their little murder club as the books go by are all so real to me. The characters Ron, Ibrahim, Elizabeth and Joyce sounded similar, if their dialogue was mixed up I wouldn’t notice.It has filled my heart reading both of these books and I'm so looking forward to picking up the third!
