Overview:
Two blisteringly clever mysteries from Richard Osman come together in this 2-book collection: The Thursday Murder Club and The Man Who Died Twice. Set in a peaceful retirement village, these stories introduce four unexpected sleuths who meet weekly in the Jigsaw Room to discuss unsolved crimes. The first book follows their foray into a live case when a local developer is found dead, a mysterious photograph left beside the body, and a web of secrets that only eight pairs of curious eyes could untangle. The second book deepens the ensemble's adventures as a new murder threatens their tranquil life at Cooper’s Chase, testing friendships, loyalty, and nerve. Osman blends warmth, wit, and razor-sharp plotting into a fresh, highly readable crime experience that feels both comforting and exhilarating. This two-book set is ideal for fans of contemporary mysteries, cosy vibes, and character-driven suspense who want a complete, satisfying reading journey in one purchase.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This collection captures the magic that made Osman’s series a modern sensation: a perfect blend of accessible mystery and human warmth. The stories share the same beloved quartet — Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim — whose sharp banter, genuine care for one another, and quick-witted problem-solving keep you turning the pages. Reading the pair back-to-back creates a binge-read rhythm: meet the sleuths, follow the twists, and arrive at a payoff that feels earned and warmly earned. The set works as a thoughtful gift for mystery fans, book clubs, and readers who want a confident, character-driven duo with a cosy-crime heartbeat and spine-tingling suspense in equal measure.

Books Included in This Collection:
The Thursday Murder Club
In a tranquil retirement village, four residents band together to discuss unsolved crimes in the Jigsaw Room. When a local developer is found dead and a mysterious photograph sits beside the body, the club’s amateur sleuths launch a live investigation. The pacing is brisk, the dialogue sparkling, and the clues cleverly arranged to reward careful reading. Osman balances warmth with intrigue, delivering a modern whodunnit that invites readers to solve along with the characters and cheer when the truth finally lands.

The Man Who Died Twice
The second gripping novel in the New York Times bestselling Thursday Murder Club series, the first of which Kate Atkinson called "A little beacon of pleasure in the midst of the gloom... SUCH FUN!" Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim—the Thursday Murder Club—are still riding high off their recent real-life murder case and are looking forward to a bit of peace and quiet at Cooper’s Chase. But danger returns when a fresh mystery disrupts their calm, pulling them into a high-stakes game of secrets, loyalties, and clever improvisation. Osman’s signature warmth remains, with sharper plotting and spirited camaraderie that makes this sequel feel both familiar and thrilling.

Who This Set Is Perfect For:
