"These septuagenarians look like mild-mannered white hairs. But they are devious and crafty, even if they are (mostly) pleasant and gracious while they are up to their shenanigans. And they have time on their hands. And they like to solve crimes. This case is delivered to their retirement community. The second in the series, this is another great murder mystery for the Thursday Murder Club!"
Jackie Davidson
"Better than the first! The characters felt like coming back to old friends. There wasn't an overabundance of mysteries like the first. It stayed fairly contained and focused which I enjoyed more. I laughed more in this 2nd installment and the action, mystery and character growth was phenomenal.
Can't wait for book 3 now!

"Hilarious! I laughed even more than I did at the first book in the series. Got to know the main characters a little better and rejoiced at a book where it’s the older folks having all the fun."
Sunshine Mulligan
"This honestly might be the best book I’ve ever read. I think I liked it more than the first one. It’s lighthearted but there’s a great mystery, the characters are so fun to read, and I love how short each chapter is. 10/10 recommend both this and the original Thursday Murder Club."

"This was just as charming and hilarious as the first in the series! There is something about the writing that makes me laugh out loud, and also occasionally cry. But mostly giggle at the antics of the four feisty septuagenarians that solve mysteries. I mean, come on! If you don’t find that funny you don’t have a heart!<br/><br/>But in all seriousness, as much as I enjoyed the story, it’s the characters that will keep me coming back for more. I’ve got a soft spot for Ron at the moment (and his adorable grandson!) but all of the Thursday Murder Club are delightful to read about. I can wait for the next installment this year!"

"Just as charming and cheeky as the first, and also with as much intrigue and mystery! Richard Osman does it again in this adorable, endearing, yet page-turnung novel that shows old dogs can have new tricks."
Madison Peregoy
"This is the second in the series that I’ve read & this one was even better than the first. I love the characters & the author’s writing style. These books are the perfect description of a “cozy mystery.”"
