Osman&rsquo;s writing reminds me of Anthony Berkeley&rsquo;s in its mixing of sparkling humor and resonant emotion. . . No wonder readers, myself included, have surrendered to [the Thursday Murder Club members&rsquo;] abundant charms.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Think of the Thursday Murder Club itself as a senior version of 'The A-Team'. . .&#160;Funny, moving and suspenseful. . . &#160;So delicious, even adorable . . A wildly entertaining book.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;[Feels] like a reunion with old friends. Clever, witty, and touching, this thriller has it all.&rdquo;&mdash;Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Before She Disappeared&ldquo;A thing of joy. Osman has a natural sense of humor that he's able to translate into both character and dialogue.&rdquo; &mdash;Kate Atkinson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Sky&ldquo;Osman delivers another must read full of humor and heart. I loved it.&rdquo;&mdash;Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Win&ldquo;This book is SO MUCH FUN! Fiendishly clever and brimming with wit on every page, The Man Who Died Twice is the tonic we all need. Osman just gets better.&rdquo;&mdash;Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door&ldquo;He&rsquo;s back and he&rsquo;s better than ever! By turns moving, hilarious, and brilliantly suspenseful, the novel keeps us flipping pages from start to finish.&rdquo;&mdash;Jeffery Deaver, #1 international bestselling author of The Final Twist&ldquo;Osman&rsquo;s novels are so much more than just brilliantly engineered mysteries... They're also funny, warm, and big-hearted. He can't possibly write them fast enough to suit me. These books are absolute gold.&rdquo;&mdash;Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman&ldquo;Richard Osman&rsquo;s action-packed second outing with the Thursday Murder Club overflows with wit, friendship, and derring-do, as the eccentric quartet of British crime solvers joins forces from a countryside retirement village. They tussle with the mafia, investigate murders, and, of course, enjoy teatime.&rdquo;&mdash;The Christian Science Monitor&ldquo;The club makes a triumphant return&hellip; The Man Who Died Twice, like its series predecessor, is an unalloyed delight, full of sharp writing, sudden surprises, heart, comedy, sorrow and great banter.&rdquo;&mdash;Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal &#160; &ldquo;Fun and ingenious &hellip; Osman blends humor and pathos while weaving his tangled web of intrigue and deception. This is the perfect book with which to unwind.&rdquo;&mdash;Malcolm Forbes, Minneapolis Star-Tribune&ldquo;Osman follows The Thursday Murder Club, his supremely entertaining debut, with an even better second installment. . .&#160;A clever, funny mystery peopled with captivating characters that enhance the story at every quirky turn.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)&ldquo;It&rsquo;s impossible to single out any one feature that makes The Man Who Died Twice such an absolute treat...&#160;Richard Osman creates real magic with his characters.&#160;They are frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious but also entirely real and three-dimensional...If possible, this sequel is even better than the Osman&rsquo;s charmer of a debut, The Thursday Murder Club. This series is both a load of fun and an ode to how the power of friendship is important throughout one&rsquo;s life but especially during the final stretch.&#160;Don&rsquo;t miss it.&rdquo;&mdash;BookPage (starred review)&ldquo;[The Man Who Died Twice] captures the spirit of older folks who don't want to be pigeonholed by their age and who capture the charming insouciance of those who've seen a lot. . .&#160;the dialogue at a sprightly clip, while the plot itself often gallops. But it is the four very different. . . but utterly endearing members of the club who will leave readers eager for Osman to call the next meeting to order.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;Riveting. . . The twisty plot, knotty issues of relationships with life partners, and steadfast loyalty among the sleuths provide depth and poignancy. Those who prefer their mysteries with touches of spycraft, humor, and eccentricity will be well pleased.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;This slick sequel will leave you buzzing with 'the gentle hum of contentment.'&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Times (London)&ldquo;If you liked The Thursday Murder Club, you&rsquo;re in for a treat, as this sequel is even better.&rdquo;&mdash;Good Housekeeping (UK)&ldquo;It&rsquo;s balm for the soul.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Daily Express (London)&ldquo;It&rsquo;s an unalloyed pleasure to spend time with Osman&rsquo;s sparkling, well-observed characters who are also wittily perceptive about our foibles and the quirks of modern life.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Sunday Express (London)&ldquo;Osman&rsquo;s characters are beautifully drawn, and the result is a novel that&rsquo;s pure pleasure to read.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Observer (London)

I inhaled Fifty Words for Rain in one day. I had no choice.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Usually I take my time with books, but I found it very hard to step away from this story. Filled with mystery, music, sadness, and adventures,&#160;Fifty Words for Rain&#160;flies by&mdash;yet lingers long after. . . . Anyone who has ever lost a friend&mdash;or, more happily, found a family&mdash;will love this beautiful story.&rdquo; &mdash;Malala Yousafzai,&#160;Nobel Peace Prize&ndash;winning activist&#160; "Fifty Words for Rain&#160;is a lovely, heartrending story about love and loss, prejudice and pain, and the sometimes dangerous, always durable ties that link a family together. This coming-of-age tale about a biracial girl in postwar Japan is an assured, confident debut by a talented new author." &mdash;Kristin Hannah, #1&#160;New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of&#160;The Nightingale&#160;&ldquo;A hugely compelling debut about Noriko, a mixed race girl growing up in Japan after WWII. Moving and honest and at times intense, Asha Lemmie takes us on an emotional journey that spans years, one which sheds light on Noriko's family traditions, prejudices, struggles, triumphs, and ultimate transformation. This is a well-researched and eye-opening tale, told with compassion that breathes through each page.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Abi Dar&eacute;,&#160;New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of The&#160;Girl with the Louding Voice"[An] epic, twisty debut . . .

A bold historical portrait of a woman overcoming oppression." &mdash;Kirkus&#160;Reviews"Lemmie's novel explores the illusion of choice for women in a preordained societal structure and the powerful pull of independence." &mdash;PopMatters.com"This is a debut you won&rsquo;t want to miss."&#160;&mdash;Erin Kodicek, Amazon Book Review&#160;"This virtuosic debut enthralled me from the very first page. Lemmie&rsquo;s compelling and compassionate portrait of a young girl in post-WWII Japan is meticulously researched and beautifully crafted. What a heartbreaking, exceptional story by a sublime talent&mdash;I can&rsquo;t wait to see what she does next!" &mdash;Fiona Davis, nationally bestselling author of&#160;The Lions of Fifth Avenue"Fifty Words for Rain&#160;is an impressive debut novel about a mixed-race girl growing up in post-WWII Japan. Sensitive and bristling with closely-observed humanity, Asha Lemmie tells a story that we have not heard before with an ending that is as surprising as it is brutally honest." &mdash;Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of&#160;Beneath a Scarlet Sky"Asha Lemmie&rsquo;s debut novel&#160;Fifty Words for Rain&#160;follows eight-year-old Nori after she is abandoned by her mother and left to fend for herself in the unkind graces of a family built on tradition and power. Lemmie has penned an impassioned story that confronts the uncomfortable truths behind institutionalized prejudice and the history of violence and subjugation of the powerless by those on the highest rungs of society. It&rsquo;s an emotional journey with an unexpected ending." &mdash;Mary Lynn Bracht, author of&#160;White Chrysanthemum "From page one, I was rooting for Nori, the illegitimate daughter of a Japanese aristocrat and an African American soldier. Shackled by family condemnation and the prejudices of post-WWII Japan, Nori must transform from docile young girl into fierce, unapologetic heroine. A wholly immersive coming-of-age epic from a talented young writer&mdash;Asha Lemmie pours her passion onto the page." &mdash;Mira T. Lee, author of Everything Here Is Beautiful
