Richard Osman: The Man Who Died Twice (Paperback, 2022, Penguin Books) 4 stars

This is the second book in the Thursday Murder Club Mysteries, and the second novel from Richard Osman.

This is a better put-together book than his first, which, while a fun read, had some 'author's first novel' jank to it, but Osman still doesn't really stick the landing. Still a fun little book, but more for following the four main characters and their friendship than for the murder mystery itself.

You don't need to know someone living in a retirement village to love THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB (Viking), but it helps. Only just started it, but it's one of the most enjoyable books I've read in ages - character driven, hilariously written, and for young readers who've grown beyond the MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE series, a great step into adult crime fiction.

We are working on our 2nd rewatch of Elementary. We added it during our watch to give us a break every now & then.

Any fans on ?

I found the fresh take with lots of swaps & no sexual shenanigans between a male & female lead refreshing.

Procedural, occasionally formulaic, but lots of serial plots, just a good watch for murder mystery fans. No Agatha Christie, but solid.

At this rate, we’ll watch 2020s shows by the 2040s!
