We Solve Murders: A Novel

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

“Madcap fun, with an entertaining new cast of characters and Osman’s trademark wit. Delightful!” Shari Lapena

From the #1 bestselling author of The Thursday Murder Club Series


A brand new mystery. An iconic new detective duo. And a thrilling new murder to solve . . .

Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He still does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar routines: the pub quiz, his favorite bench, his cat waiting for him at home. His days of adventure are over. Adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s job now.

Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. Working in private security, every day is dangerous. She’s currently on a remote island protecting mega-bestselling author Rosie D’Antonio, until a dead body and a bag of money mean trouble in paradise. So she sends an SOS to the only person she trusts . . .

As a thrilling race around the world begins, can Amy and Steve outrun and outsmart a killer?

Solving murders. It’s a family business.

Once I figured out the authors writing style I couldn’t put it down.

An enjoyable read, endearing characters. The plot was fairly simple to follow but had enough of a twist here and there to keep me interested.

it was a slow paced story that followed multiple people. I like the people in the story but didn't at the same time. overall not bad.

Murder mystery not usually my go-to genre, but had to check out a Richard Osman offering. Bonus to learn that Nicola Walker was the audiobook narrator. Very much enjoyed. No moments of irritation, like phrases used too often or characters doing uncharacteristic things or all-too-convenient plot maneuvers. Just a good, articulate, light and witty mystery read. And I don't think I'll be happy if anyone other than Osman himself plays Steve in the TV show/film.
