But they are out of luck.
 
An unexpected visitor??an old pal of Elizabeth??s (or perhaps more than just a pal?)??arrives, desperate for her help. He has been accused of stealing diamonds worth millions from the wrong men and he??s seriously on the lam.
 
Then, as night follows day, the first body is found. But not the last. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim are up against a ruthless murderer who wouldn??t bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians. Can our four friends catch the killer before the killer catches them?  And if they find the diamonds, too? Well, wouldn??t that be a bonus?  You should never put anything beyond the Thursday Murder Club.

"I imagine if you could hear all the morning tears in this place it would sound like birdsong." p.20

Living at Cooper's Chase, a retirement community can be lonely. Is it death's waiting room? The Thursday Murder Club has found a way to make good use of their time. They solve murders. At first, it was just looking at cold murders, but then the bodies started piling up!
Although the book is a murder mystery, it is really about friendship, overcoming loneliness, and living life to the fullest, no matter your age.
It is a hilarious, fast-paced but thoughtful book.

Second books in a series can be hit or miss—but not this one. Might be even better than the first one, with more humor, more character development, and even a little more mystery. ( )

More of the same as the first in the series, with the same characters developing, and introduces Elizabeth's husband. Spies, schemes and deceptions. ( )

I am hooked

Started reading these books on a whim not expecting much. Holy cow! These books are so good! Really keep you guessing til the end of each one ( )

This is the second book in the Thursday Murder Club series (book 3 is out now and book 4 forthcoming).
The four members are back in this book involving stolen diamonds, a violent mobster and a threat against the life of someone from Elizabeth’s past…
Elizabeth, a former M15 operative has a ton of “great connections”; Joyce, a former nurse and woman of many skills, she loves solving puzzles; Ibrahim is a retired psychiatrist who has a keen eye for reading body language and Ron is a retired union leader and a man known for getting things done.
Three things are going on in this book:
DCI Chris Hudson and PC Donna DeFreitas are trying to stop a drug queenpin’s murderous operation; Ibrahim suffers a brutal mugging; and someone from Elizabeth’s past needs her help. Oh…and the missing diamonds.
I really enjoyed this book more than the first one. I felt like we were really engrossed in the escapades of Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim and their cohorts. ( )
