So, at this stage in the story I was hopeful that this second novel was going to be at least as good, if not better, than the first one. This ‘blast from the past’ character is central to a plot that eventually develops into a case for the four amateur detectives to solve. In this outing, Elizabeth receives an unexpected letter, delivered under her door, and originating from someone from her younger days. For a couple of hours I was really enjoying myself, and I soon got caught up in the lives of these likeable characters. And you know what, I was soon whisked back to the lovely Coopers Chase retirement village, and it was so nice to get reacquainted with Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim, those elderly, self-appointed sleuths - aka The Thursday Murder Club. So, I eased into my comfy armchair, a pot of freshly brewed tea sitting on the side table, and began turning those pages (on my Kindle). However, I’m afraid this second outing just didn’t cut the mustard as far as I’m concerned.Īs with Mr Osman’s debut novel, I sat down with this one eagerly anticipating the cozy mystery which would no doubt await me. I mention that because I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, in fact I gave it a glowing 5 star Amazon review when I read it last year. It really doesn’t give me any pleasure to write this mainly negative review.
