We Solve Murders – Richard Osman

Description

We Solve Murders is the highly anticipated first book in a brand new mystery series by bestselling author Richard Osman, creator of The Thursday Murder Club. This witty, fast-paced novel introduces readers to an unlikely but irresistible detective duo: retired investigator Steve Wheeler and his adrenaline-chasing daughter-in-law, Amy Wheeler. Nominated for the 2024 Goodreads Choice Award for Readers’ Favourite Mystery & Thriller, this fresh new title promises Osman’s trademark charm, humour, and cleverly layered plotting.

The story follows Steve, a man who has settled into the comforts of retirement—pub quizzes, quiet routines, and the company of his cat, Trouble. Meanwhile, Amy is a high-energy private security officer tasked with protecting a famous author on a remote island. When a murder, a bag of cash, and a determined killer disrupt Amy’s assignment, she turns to the only person she can trust: Steve. What follows is a thrilling, globe-trotting chase to unravel a dangerous conspiracy before it’s too late.

Blending Osman’s sharp dialogue, heart, and a lively cast of new characters, We Solve Murders is an entertaining, contemporary cosy mystery perfect for fans of light-hearted crime fiction, quick-witted thrillers, and memorable sleuthing duos.
