| Description:* Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He’s made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster, and a very real threat to his life. As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds too? Well, wouldn’t that be a bonus? But this time they are up against an enemy who wouldn’t bat an eyelid at knocking off 4 septuagenarians. Can The Thursday Murder Club find the killer (and the diamonds) before the killer finds them?*From goodreads.com’s synopsis. | |||
| Thoughts: I read the first book in this series, The Thursday Murder Club in 2023. Like that one, I liked this book a lot, but I didn’t love it. This one also involves mafias, cartels, or organized crime, none of which I enjoy reading about. It looks like this series is up to 5 books now. I’m glad I read this one, but I won’t be reading any more of them. | |||
