The Man Who Died Twice

I'd been wanting to read both of the stories in this series without actually knowing much about it. Just because of the covers and the buzz. I found this, book 2, in a library sale for $1 so I bought it and when I read that it stars seniors, I couldn't resist reading this without obtaining and reading book 1 first.

Major kudos to Mr. Osman for not including a major rehash of their previous exploits in this edition. I've stopped reading series for that sin. Looking at you in particular Daniel Silva. I am eagerly looking forward to reading the first tale even more now.

I'm a 62 year old American and I dearly wish I could live Cooper's Chase! Even if I'm not talented enough to join the Thursday Murder Club, I'd love to live in their thrall. Instead I might have to climb another mountain and find my own intimate circle of like friends to share adventures with. Obviously, I found all of the characters delightful for novel purposes, even the villains and those lie somewhere in-between. I felt the pace was good, personally I like a book that becomes a page turner that I can't put down in the later half. For me, the humor ranged from sly smiles to laughing out loud while kicking my heels! I'm not looking for realism in most novels, especially mysteries, so I found the twisty plot enthralling. This was an altogether smashing read!
