“3.75 ⭐️ read this after watching the netflix movie (decided to skip the first book). tbh i found it quite enjoyable and a nice quick read. i used to love reading mystery / adventure books like The Fantastic Five when I was younger and this has a similar vibe to that. some parts of the story i didn’t love / found a bit unbelievable. but overall a decent book. would recommend”
“Richard Osman once again delivers on a great murder mystery. I enjoyed following along as our gang of unlikely detectives solved this thrilling mystery. I found that the murder was solvable and rewarding to finally get that sweet release of a whodunit. The characters are charming and lovely and I can't wait to read the next murder they solve.”
“I found this to be an excellent follow-up to The Thursday Murder Club. I don’t like it quite as well as the first but I enjoyed spending more time with these characters. ”
