brand new mystery It's the following Thursday. Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He is being hunted and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very big mistake. As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a killer. And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus? But this time they are up against a ruthless murderer who wouldn't bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians.

Short chapters make this book easy to pick-up without committing to longer sessions.
This book picks up where the previous Thursday Murder Club finished so most of the characters are familiar.
Every detail in this book is connected to the plot and I liked how every character played a meaningful part in the story.
