The TV Presentation of the World Bestseller "The Man Who Died Twice" Took Place (Video)

The TV presentation featured Heghine Medoyan, Commercial Director of Bookinist, and Ara Sahakyan, Head of the Newmag Signature Club.

According to Ara Sahakyan, Osman's series follows the best traditions of classic British detective fiction while adding its own distinctive humor and memorable characters. While the first novel unfolds in a quiet retirement community, the second expands the story beyond the borders of the United Kingdom.

"If you enjoy British humor, clever mysteries, memorable characters, and detective fiction, you will definitely enjoy this series. Osman focuses less on graphic crime scenes and more on the people behind the mystery, their stories, personalities, and relationships."

Sahakyan noted that one of Osman's greatest strengths is the rich background of his protagonists.

"The main characters are retirees who had remarkable professional careers before retirement. They use their experience, skills, and old connections to solve crimes. Throughout the novel, Osman's subtle British humor is ever-present, making readers genuinely care about the characters and share in their emotions."

He also answered one of the questions readers ask most often: Is it necessary to read the first book before starting the second?

"The mysteries themselves are independent, so you can read them separately. However, since the same group of characters returns, reading the series in order makes the experience even more enjoyable."

Bookinist Commercial Director Heghine Medoyan spoke about the company's ongoing partnership with Newmag.

"This is our fifth joint publication. Together we've published both fiction and nonfiction, and when Newmag proposed Richard Osman's second detective novel, we were delighted to support the project so Armenian readers could continue enjoying this wonderful series."

Medoyan added that the second novel introduces new characters and raises the stakes as the members of the Thursday Murder Club become involved in an international criminal case.

"Richard Osman has a background in television, and that is reflected in his writing. The novel is highly visual, almost cinematic. What makes it so engaging is that readers are interested not only in solving the mystery but also in following the everyday lives and personal stories of the characters."

According to Medoyan, detective fiction remains one of the most popular literary genres both internationally and in Armenia. Beyond its gripping mystery, "The Man Who Died Twice" also carries an uplifting message, reminding readers that regardless of age, it is always possible to discover new passions, meaningful friendships, and exciting new chapters in life.
