I really enjoyed this sequel! It was fast paced and it kept me entertained! I do feel like some events got a bit confusing and hard to follow, but I loved the book regardless! I’m excited to continue with the series!

The second instalment in The Thursday Murder Club introduces several new characters, especially significantly adding spies to the mix. A lot of twists and turns as we get to know them all, how they connect to each other and to our central four retirees, and see how the different plot threads approach and separate.

I really appreciated the way the relationships between the characters continued to develop.

And I found the plot about the spies and diamonds fascinating!

But my favourite part was the denouement at the end, the tying up of loose threads and answering of last questions I had.

Really enjoyed this book, it follows nicely on from the first book but can be read as a standalone. Looking forward to starting the third in the series.

I had this on audiobook for the gym. I'd read the first in the series and I wanted something fairly light that I wouldn't have to focus on too much and thought this would fit the bill. I guess it did but I'm not going to bother with any of the others. It dragged and meandered and I wasn't invested in any of the characters or the mystery of who had died and who had killed them. I found it fairly twee as well. The recurring joke is the juxtaposition of middle class, middle England with crime and espionage, "let's have a cream tea and talk about the mafia. Oh dear, we've got raspberry jam which is almost as annoying as the gun violence" it got tired pretty quickly!

Fun cosy murder mystery. A little far fetched at times. I enjoyed all the little modern day culture references and the fact that there were a few intertwined stories that left me guessing for a while.
