Brought to you by Penguin.

THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE RECORD-BREAKING, MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING THURSDAY MURDER CLUB SERIES.

It's the following Thursday.

Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He's made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very real threat to his life.

As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus?

But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn't bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians.

Can the Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them?

Wow! You simply HAVE to listen!

Not exactly a sequel to ‘Thursday Murder Club’ but more a continuation of characters. The writing is absolutely sublime, and when you combine this with Lesley Manville’s narration you have perfection. Richard Osman writes for his characters with true depth of feeling so that they really have gravitas within the story threads. Lesley Manville gives life to them with her voice, and her expression of the characters fits hand in glove with the author. This is a pairing made in Audiobook heaven!!!
The plot line has many twists and turns and I love the unexpected and clandestine antics of a group of lovable pensioners. Bring on the next book please!!!!!!

A worthy sequel.

Such a pleasure to get reacquainted with the members of the Thursday Murder Club and inhabitants of Cooper’s Chase. Whilst the plot may be highly implausible it’s also hugely entertaining and the characters are so well written and fleshed out that it just about escapes farce. In any case, it doesn’t matter, it’s all marvellous fun and the whole thing is so skilfully narrated by Lesley Manville that the dry wit and touches of genuine human connection in the writing shine through. It’s lovely.

I have already pre-ordered book 3

Loved it

Another fantastic gem of a book, with the wonderful narration by Lesley Manville. She certainly made all the characters come alive. This book was even better than the Thursday Murder Club, which was also fabulous . What a special treat hearing the chat between Lesley Manville and Richard Osman at the end.
Can’t wait for the 3rd book.

Enid Blyton for adults

I love a good mystery, especially when solved by a charming group of characters I can really invest in. Beautifully written, masterfully narrated, completely entertaining and I can't wait for the next one!

All Round Fabulous

I simply adored this book. The quirky, very human characters were totally 3 dimensional and hugely believable, and most of all, so much fun! The narration is unparalleled.
I wish I could rate it higher.

Another winner from Richard Osman!

Just as good as the first in the series and well deserving of repeated listens. Beautifully drawn characters, wonderfully narrated and at times tense, touching and very funny. Can’t wait for the third novel.

Just as good as the first one

What the title says. Very happy with it, can't wait to get the next one.

Absolutely brilliant.

So much more than just a murder mystery. From human relationships to philosophy. Highly recommended.

A lot of fun

It is very hard to anticipate how the story will evolve and that leads to a lot of surprises and cliffhangers at the end of the chapters.

Great story, OUTSTANDING narration

Lesley Manville must be the best audiobook narrator I've come across. She manages to give each character it's own colour, in a way that really makes the whole story come to life.
