Newmag will present the second book of “The Thursday Murder Club” series at Newmag Summerfest 2026 (trailer)

The “The Thursday Murder Club” series won the hearts of millions of readers with its first book and continues with an even more complex and thrilling story. If the first novel focused on solving a murder within the peaceful surroundings of Coopers Chase retirement village, this time the investigation takes the four friends far beyond their familiar routine.

Everything begins with a letter addressed to Elizabeth. Someone from her past is asking for help. But this is not an ordinary request: the case involves missing diamonds, criminal networks, powerful figures, and people willing to kill to protect their secrets. Soon, new victims appear, and Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim must act quickly before they become the next targets.

Richard Osman once again combines the classic elements of a detective story with humor, warmth, and deeply human characters. The four members of the Thursday Murder Club prove that experience and age are not obstacles, but strengths when it comes to understanding people, uncovering secrets, and solving mysteries.

“The Man Who Died Twice” became an international bestseller, continuing the success of the first novel. The series has been translated into dozens of languages, and its upcoming screen adaptation has brought renewed attention to Osman’s work.

Richard Osman is a British writer, television presenter, producer, and director. His novels regularly appear on international bestseller lists, and he was awarded an OBE in 2026 for his contribution to literature and broadcasting.

The Armenian translation of “The Man Who Died Twice” is by Astghik Atabekyan. The main partner of the book is “Bookinist.”

The presentation will take place during Newmag Summer Fest at the Liberty Cafe in Yeraz Park at 7:00 PM. The discussion will be led by members of the Book Club.
