I’m devouring this series. The characters are wonderful and the story is captivating. I like the short chapters that jump from scene to scene and viewpoint to viewpoint.

I enjoyed this book but mainly because of its characters and the writing style. The plot wasn’t as good as the other two books in my opinion.

I thought the plot was too complex and messy with many of the findings and unraveling of the mystery depending on coincidence and the unbelievable willingness of others to talk for absolutely no reason at all.

The whole prison thing was kinda ridiculous, I cannot imagine this level of corruption in UK prisons, though obviously I am not an expert on that.

Will still read the last one though, because I love my little gang of pensioners.

Ah, another delightful installment of my favorite gang of octogenarian crime solvers! I honestly can’t get enough of these books and the whole squad - they’re witty but serious, snarky but soft, and continue to just be full of heart. I never really want these books to end.
Book 2 & this one have been my favorite thus far - it feels as if Osman is really hitting his stride with these characters and each book reveals new fun slivers of their personalities and lives. There are some really tough issues woven throughout these books yet they never leave me feeling sad or anxious. Definite cozy crime vibes.
I loved seeing Elizabeth really “in her element” more than ever in this one. Ibrahim is also becoming a fast favorite of mine!
Cannot recommend these more if you want some mystery with good plot twists but nothing scary enough to keep you awake in the dark!
