The Man Who Died Twice (Thursday Murder Club, #2)

by Richard Osman

What a ridiculous question.

40 years

I wish I’d got my hands on Ibrahim thirty years ago.

and she probably have been good for him.

I’ve never thought that a guinea pig might need rescuing before, but I suppose they do. We all need it once in a while,

Elizabeth will use the stairs while she still can. Stairs are good for hip and knee flexibility.

“No, I have taken to carrying flowers around with me as an affectation,”

This is the Elizabeth that I love.

“I’m nearly seventy,

so she is nearly 80; I think we are told somewhere that Ron is 77

It was still early days for Chris and Patrice, the days of lust and art galleries.

lol

“Oh, he hasn’t got away with it this time,” says Elizabeth. “No one gets away with hurting Ibrahim.”

@GreatJoy69”

'69 not a great year to graduate from high school either !!! Same reason.

I didn’t…I don’t think I like him having a surname,”

Oh I do...of a President of AUS whom I disliked.

“I don’t want to bend the rules. It doesn’t give me a thrill.

Would make a good registrar. :-)

book about Nazis, largely anti,

??? I should think so! 2025 and “47”—totally not obvious in the U.S. any more. 😳🔥😔

the brain changes, in form and in function.

Actually, perhaps it would suit me? You never know until you try, do you? I never thought I would like dark chocolate, for example.

Joyce is a riot! :-)

MI5 know who I am now, though, so that’s one for the Christmas newsletter.

LOL

He has made it to another sunrise, and, descending the stairs, he decides he will have some marmalade on toast while he still can.

The sense of extreme danger and absolute safety in the same man? Or just the looks?

:-)

deep blue eyes,

I see Paul Newman here :-)

“I’ll tell Joyce you were being morose if you keep this up.”

Hell of a threat :-) An effective one. Shana this one's for you. :-)

There’s a thin line between wearing overalls and going to the shop in your pajamas.

What if pretending to enjoy life is the same as actually enjoying it?

Many times in my life.

Sue Reardon can’t help but compare herself to the woman sitting directly across from her.

Clue?

and a bag for life,

I had to google it...reusable bag, as for groceries.

even though I try not to get too sad these days.

good idea

People love to sleep, and yet they are so frightened of death. Bogdan has never understood it.

Exactly

I can’t find boring men attractive.

:-)

scene might have been from the 1970s, when, if you wanted to die of lung cancer, or in a road accident, then that was your choice.

:-) ah the good old days...... well, not entirely, from this vantage

She has always found friends harder.

they refuse to take her seriously. Who knew that was the secret all along?

kneeling over the age of sixty-five is a pipe dream,

well, 70 for me.

I always have high hopes. It’s much more fun that way.

Sadly, I am so not a Joyce.

It’s round about twelve that the charm wears off with boys, though most of them get it back sooner or later.

Can't disagree.

whereas if you say ‘penguin’ then we all picture the same thing.

not!

Words are very important—most

once he had completely come clean to Patrice, they had had to buy the chopping board, the sharp knives, and the sea salt and black pepper too.

got a laugh outloud from me. :-)

Donna doesn’t need therapy, but she wouldn’t mind a nice long chat with a friend who happens to be a therapist.

He believed philosophy was not a sacred text but a medicine.”

She has really taken to emojis.

:-)

the goose looks round to make sure none of the other geese were watching.

LOL

You didn’t get to be a fifty-one-year-old man by tackling things head-on.

:-)

He had insisted on a trip to McDonald’s on the way to court.

OK...I want to know. I have had british chips and (US) McDonald's french fries are not even close!! About a quarter the size and limp in comparison. I wonder if McDonald has changed the fries in the UK.

“By the way, if you have any evidence of that, you know what I do for a living.”

lol

“I don’t have the fast-twitch muscle fibers for it.”

GREAT excus...err, reason. :-)

so I have some form.

Joyce, oh Joyce.... :-)

The chat with Ibrahim has done her good. Life was not running away from her. Just the opposite, she was running away from life. So, onward and upward. All that nonsense.

“Donna and I,” says Elizabeth.

YES!!!! Thank you, Mr. Osman. :-)

If I was ever on the run,

So other people think about this, hmmmm? Although mine isn't "on the run," it's "must hide because........" I haven't settled on an answer :-) Except I preclude anywhere I have lived myself. That nixes Seattle, New Orleans, Colorado Springs, 5 university communities (one of which is also a state capitol). ....

he is not my type, but he is a very good hugger.

and that is an important skill!. :-)
