Richard Osman has written The Man Who Died Twice, a fascinating and funny murder mystery about an archetypal unassuming amateur sleuth in the form of the retired detective, Joyce, who receives a hasty letter from her former spouse—who was killed some years ago—warning her of perilous goings-on. Imagine going out with friends and exposing lies, murder and other hardcore thrills within a week, she does that. Light-fast, full of jokes, and rather unexpected.
