Our fabulous four from book one end up on another rather wild adventure as Elizabeth&#8217;s rather charming ex-husband shows up and gets them involved in quite the diamond-related crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely no spoilers being shared here, because I want everyone to be able to enjoy the charm of this page-turner. Other than to say this book is like returning to old friends, and I loved that about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also so much charm to Osman&#8217;s writing. It is warm and witty &#8211; making it such an enjoyable read from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course, I now cannot wait for book three to be released, because Ron, Ibrahim, Joyce and Elizabeth are like old friends you can&#8217;t wait to catch up with and have a cuppa (or a sneaky glass of wind if the kettle is otherwise occupied).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;The Man who Died Twice&#8217; was one of the most anticipated reads of the year.
