A cunning killer. A race around the world.
An iconic new detective team is born.
Solving murders. It's a family business.
Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He still does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers the pub quiz and afternoons at home with his cat Trouble. His days of adventure are over - that's his daughter-in-law Amy's business now.
Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul, which makes being a private security officer to billionaires the perfect job. She's currently on a remote island keeping world-famous author Rosie D'Antonio alive. Then a dead body, a bag of money and a killer with their sights on Amy have her sending Steve an SOS...
As a breakneck race around the world begins, can they stay one step ahead of a deadly enemy?
Accolades
Praise for We Solve Murders
Madcap fun, with an entertaining new cast of characters and Osman’s trademark wit. Delightful!
With huge dollops of heart and humor, this will delight Osman fans and attract new readers who will get caught up in the thrill of it all.
We Solve Murders is an outstanding mystery novel... a pitch-perfect blend of the cozy mystery and thriller genres... Mystery fans have been richly rewarded with We Solve Murders, and will be happy to know that Osman has more in store for these characters.
I love, love, love Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series and was devastated to learn he was taking a pause to allow his senior citizen stars a minute to recover from solving four murders in four years. But I’m happy to say We Solve Murders is a worthy follow-up. Part of a whole new series, this story features a security guard and her retired police-officer father-in-law as protagonists, and together they’re just as endearing and funny as the Thursday group.
Osman introduces another lovable group of unwitting investigators... As in Osman’s other series, they cross paths with a variety of people-including drug-dealing politicians, customs agents, and social media influencers-who may or may not be inclined to help them, and watching the unlikely threesome charm each other and (almost) everyone they meet is a delight... Osman fans will be glad to hop on that private jet and go along for the ride.
Osman’s new novel will be in high demand... This humorous caper quickly picks up speed, and readers will root for the trio.
bestseller Osman (the Thursday Murder Club mysteries) launches a promising new series with this sprightly tale... Osman pulls off the tricky task of making his leads both zany and human, with a sufficiently brain-teasing mystery to boot. This series is sure to garner a loyal following.
The thing that shines through in Osman’s writing, for me, is that he really likes people and revels in all their foibles and eccentricities. All of which makes for a delightful read – and another little slice of warmth in time for autumn.
[Osman] introduces a beguiling new team of sleuths... and sends this crew on a globe-spanning investigation, enlivening his tale with dry wit, crisp dialogue, sharply drawn characters and a pinch or three of sentiment.
Richard Osman has a whole new cast of characters for you to adore... a fiendish mystery and rollicking adventure suffused with warmth and wit.
