I love these books, I really do! I can see myself as one of the "gang", Joyce most likely, and I really enjoy british humour!
Was the story completely outrageous? It was. But between us, how many mystery books have you read with down-to-earth stories and protagonists (that weren't written by Sir Conan Doyle or Agatha Cristie)? So yes, I couldn't care less that the plot is upsurd, I had lots of fun, and that's what really matters!

Great fun still, although maybe not quite as captivating as the first book in the series. Still very much looking forward to seeing what the gang gets up to next.

I really enjoyed this. A funny and easy read. I think I enjoyed the first book more but I will definitely continue with the series.

I'd avoided this series for a while because of the hype but since I eventually read the first one last year and really liked it, I thought I'd continue with the series. I listened to the audiobook again this time and it was a great way to experience the story. It was fun returning to these characters and I thought the mystery was really engaging. Osman's writing is very clever and I like the gentle humour.

Wonderful sequel to Thursday Murder Club. Full of suspense and devilish plot twists. The Thursday Murder Club amp up their shenanigans and get into more trouble than they bargained for.

Absolutely cracking mystery, with lots of well-developed characters, and a fun mystery at the centre. The audiobook was particularly good too.
