Most Popular Books by Richard Osman

Em O homem que morreu duas vezes, segundo livro da série O Clube do Crime das Quintas-Feiras, um dos maiores fenômenos editoriais dos últimos tempos, os carismáticos personagens criados por Richard Osman estão de volta com diálogos perspicazes, tiradas divertidíssimas e ainda mais reviravoltas. A quinta-feira agora é o melhor dia da semana. Com os crimes mais recentes solucionados, o Clube do Crime das Quintas-Feiras encontra-se em uma maré de tediosa normalidade. Mas não por muito tempo. Quando Elizabeth recebe a carta de um velho conhecido, sabe que está diante de um belo mistério. O agente do serviço secreto sessentão, com quem a ex-espiã tem uma longa história, acaba de cometer um erro terrível e precisa da ajuda dela. Joyce, Ibrahim e Ron são então convocados para acompanhá-la em uma aventura repleta de segredos e conspirações, que envolve diamantes roubados e a máfia. Logo os quatro amigos se deparam com mortes em circunstâncias suspeitas, e a missão se transforma em uma busca por um assassino implacável. E se eles encontrarem os diamantes... Bem, aí seria um bônus. A vida de septuagenários aposentados realmente não é moleza. Envolvido em mais um mistério, o grupo de detetives amadores vai lidar com assaltos, reuniões regadas a vinho e bolo, arrependimentos antigos e decisões cruciais, como adotar ou não um cachorro. Mas será que encontrarão o culpado antes que se tornem vítimas?

Nach dem Weltbestseller Der Donnerstagsmordclub der zweite Fall für das scharfsinnigste Seniorenquartett der Krimigeschichte Da hat er sich in etwas reingeritten, der gute Marcus Carmichael. Und jetzt soll Elizabeth ihm da wieder raushelfen. Dabei sollte ihr ehemaliger Geheimdienst-Kollege doch eigentlich wissen, von wem man besser keine Diamanten mitgehen lässt, wenn man sich gerade auf einem Einsatz für den MI5 befindet. Dazu gehört ganz bestimmt: die New Yorker Mafia. Ist die erst einmal im Spiel, geht es ziemlich sicher bald jemandem an den Kragen. Doch auch Profimörder können Fehler machen, etwa ihrem Handwerk in der Seniorenresidenz Coopers Chase nachzugehen. Denn wer hier mordet, dem ist der Donnerstagsmordclub auf den Fersen, und der macht, schneller als ihm lieb sein kann, aus dem Jäger den Gejagten. Für die vier rüstigen Senioren heißt es: Endlich ist wieder Donnerstag! »Eine triumphale Rückkehr des Donnerstagsmordclubs.« Wall Street Journal »Osman hat es nicht nur wieder getan, er hat es sogar noch besser gemacht.« Philippa Perry
