And we settle right back into getting reacquainted with the murder club, Elizabeth, Ron, Joyce and Ibrahim, the coolest retirees around.
We pick up with my favorite “old people” after the dust and dead bodies from the first book have settled. The second installment of the Thursday Murder Club mysteries, The Man Who Died Twice is a little bit like the above shows and movies referenced…but ten times better. They have some experience in some field that gives them some insight into how to solve a murder like baking muffins! or writing crossword clues! or owning a flower shop! these skills often allow the the amateur sleuth to best the active detective on the case and that makes me ever so happy. The glaring difference though with the murder shows and movies on that channel is that the sleuths are always young and attractive. I can be found attempting to chase those highs I felt watching them as a kid (and now in blurry reruns as an adult) by watching the terrible (yet highly watchable) Hallmark Mysteries channel. The thing about me is that my entire personality has been pretty much shaped by the 80’s tv shows that I preferred as a child, and those shows were Murder She Wrote and Columbo.
