The Thursday Murder Club is back in action when Elizabeth's ex-husband shows up asking Elizabeth to help him hide out from a money launderer who believes that he has stolen two millions pounds worth of diamonds. Meanwhile, Donna and Chris, the Club's favorite police officers, are trying to take down a new mob boss, Connie Johnson, with very little luck. The the four intelligent and enthusiastic senior citizens put their heads together to solve both problems, but the body count continues to rise. Will Elizabeth's experience, Joyce's social skills, Ron's machismo and Ibrahim's cleverness be enough, once again, to save the day?
This book came along just in time. I was having kind of a tough week and work, and this delightful read kept me going. Osman is a master of both plot and character. I love his witty dialog and fresh take on the inner life of senior citizens. I am happy to see that the first book is scheduled to become a movie directed by Spielberg. I guess I am not the only one who likes this series. (2021, 369 p)
