Once the deal is carried out, Martin is paid and the diamonds are to be returned to the Mafiosi who hired him. The Mafia have entrusted Martin Lomax with $20 million dollars in uncut diamonds as a good faith payment to arrange a deal. It seems her ex-husband has inserted himself between a dealmaker for assorted major criminals and the Mafia. The gang come together and enlist the aid of their police benefactors, Donna and Chris, to track down Ibrahim's attacker and to stealthily help Elizabeth. At the same time, Ibrahim, another member of the Murder Club, is attacked and hospitalized. It isn't long before the deception is revealed to be one of her ex-husband's schemes. She knows he's dead because she fabricated him and then ended him herself. This time out, not long after the events of the first story, Elizabeth is lured into another mystery by a message from a dead man. Anyone who hasn't picked up his debut novel, “The Thursday Murder Club,” should do so as quickly as possible. Richard Osman's second mystery, “The Man Who Died Twice,” is a real treat.
