A diamond theft draws the Thursday Murder Club back into danger

In this second Thursday Murder Club mystery, Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim are hoping for quiet at Cooper’s Chase after their recent murder case. That changes when an old associate of Elizabeth’s arrives seeking help: he is accused of stealing diamonds worth millions and is fleeing the men who want them back. A body soon turns the theft into a murder investigation, with the quartet facing a killer who threatens their own safety. The case links two questions—who is responsible for the deaths, and what happened to the diamonds—while bringing the friends’ shared sleuthing back to the fore. The retirement-village setting and the protagonists’ age are part of the mystery’s premise, not incidental details.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy amateur-sleuth mysteries and an ensemble of recurring investigators.
  • Readers interested in crime plots involving both a murder investigation and stolen diamonds.
  • Readers following the Thursday Murder Club series; this is its second installment.

Book overview

The second gripping novel in the New York Times bestselling Thursday Murder Club series, the first of which Kate Atkinson called A little beacon of pleasure in the midst of the gloom. . . SUCH FUN!

Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim--the Thursday Murder Club--are still riding high off their recent real-life murder case and are looking forward to a bit of peace and quiet at Cooper's Chase, their posh retirement village.

But they are out of luck.

An unexpected visitor--an old pal of Elizabeth's (or perhaps more than just a pal?)--arrives, desperate for her help. He has been accused of stealing diamonds worth millions from the wrong men and he's seriously on the lam.

Then, as night follows day, the first body is found. But not the last. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim are up against a ruthless murderer who wouldn't bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. Can our four friends catch the killer before the killer catches them? And if they find the diamonds, too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus? You should never put anything beyond the Thursday Murder Club.

Richard Osman is back with everyone's favorite mystery-solving quartet, and the second installment of The Thursday Murder Club series is just as clever and warm as the first--an unputdownable, laugh-out-loud pleasure of a read.
