My Review: 5 stars

The rabid bunch of octogenarians are back – Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron – with another pile of bodies…and diamonds. Twenty million pounds worth in fact. And an ex-husband (Elizabeth’s) has popped up as well. Then he gets killed. Bad timing. Or does he? Douglas (that’s his name), was a spy back in the day, like Elizabeth, so you’re never quite sure whether things are as they seem. But there is a dead letter drop (sneaky) and something left in storage locker 531 in Fairhaven Station. How much fun is that? Joyce is convinced that this is the best adventure ever, and I have to agree. Yes, Osman writes on the nose a bit, but he keeps hitting the ball out of the park. Loved it.
