5 Stars from me
Even better than the first!
I loved getting back into the retirement village with Joyce, Ron, Elizabeth and Ibrahim. They’re such well-defined characters… and they’re hilarious! I started highlighting sections that I thought were particularly funny and then found I was highlighting too much, so gave that up and just enjoyed the ride.
Diamonds, drugs, revenge, ex-lovers, the Mafia – this book has it all and somehow manages to be cozy enough to enjoy over a cuppa.
Highly recommended and I would certainly start with the first book to get a sense of who’s who.
What they say:
It’s the following Thursday.
Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He’s made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very real threat to his life.
As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn’t that be a bonus?
But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn’t bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. Can The Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them?
