I’m looking forward to the next instalment already. Just like the first book the story is over the top and unbelievable but Richard tells it in a way that makes you believe it. The humour is subtle but definitely hits the spot. The book is mainly told in the third person, but it also has diary entries from Joyce. Richard Osman is certainly a great story teller. The book is full to the brim of entertaining storylines, it’s a captivating story of friendship, love, crime, death, revenge, suspense and a satisfying, if a little surprising, ending. I guess Kendrick is just a little too modern for him.Įlizabeth becomes a force to be reckoned with, but her sidekick, Joyce, also proves her worth. I loved Ron’s grandson Kendrick, and how Ron insists on calling him Kenny or Ken. My heart broke for poor Ibrahim but he’s got some good friends. The characters that Richard Osman introduced us to in the first book, develop and grow in this one and we get to know them better. I have to admit, that finding out who The Man Who Died Twice actually was, is a touch of genius and it nearly broke me. I felt so disappointed that it had to end. The story was fascinating and I couldn’t stop listening. The story was exciting from the start and Richard writes some long winding books, but each thread leads somewhere. I think my problem with the first book was that these old people were not like any old people I’ve ever known (well, some of them.) But they are NOT like any old people you would meet, they are special and really quite wonderful in their own way. I listened to The Man Who Died Twice on Audible and it was narrated by the lovely Lesley Manville who did a fabulous job. Can the Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them? My Review And if they find the diamonds, too?
