Gather initial thoughts and broad opinions about the book.

1. How did the title shape your expectations for the novel, and how did those expectations change by the end? 

2. Were there any moments in this complex plot that confused you? Which plot points did you find to be the most engaging, and why?

Encourage readers to connect the book’s themes and characters with their personal experiences.

1. In several instances in this novel and its previous installment, The Thursday Murder Club, characters take justice into their own hands. Do you sympathize with their actions, or do you believe that the law should be stringently followed?

2. At what point did you guess the identity of the murderer? Did you know before the main characters did?

3. Had you ever read any works of fiction featuring elderly protagonists? Did anything about Osman’s portrayal surprise you?

4. How did the attitudes of these elderly characters impact the way you view your own mortality?

5. Different characters have different attitudes towards the life-changing diamonds. Some are tempted to steal them, while others want to use them to do good deeds. If you were in their position, what would you have done?
