The second gripping novel in the #1 internationally 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.

- but, in all honesty. Ibrahim has spent most of his life being careful, and sometimes you had to do things differently if you wanted to grow as a human being.

She knows the answer, of course. After meeting Stephen she took herself less seriously. The moment she had done that, a door was opened, which true friends could walk through. And in they walked.

"Why diet at eighty-two?" says Joyce. "What's a sausage roll going to do to you? Kill you? Well, join the queue." 

pov: you're an eighty-year-old woman, creating your first instagram account ...

So I'm all set up and registered as @GreatJoy69, and am looking forward to having loads of fun.

"Could you buy me ten thousand pounds' worth of cocaine?"

Bogdan looks at the money and nods. "Sure."

Douglas knows they're right and he's wrong. He doesn't miss the good old days, he misses his good old days. He doesn't suppose they were good for most people.
