We Solve Murders

Richard Osman2024
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 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?

Absorbing, funny mystery, with sharply drawn characters and lots of quips about British culture.

richard osman has become one of my favorite authors this year. his writing style is so good, and i love every single character he creates. excited to see more of this trio. he writes cozy mystery so well.


also really random but something i appreciate. ive noticed since getting back into reading a lot of people are super vague about the era of time a book is taking place in. like instead of being like we went to n1 LA taylor swift eras tour, itll be like we went to a very popular blonde haired pop star’s show. and like that could be anyone or any timeline bec their have been so many popular blonde haired pop stars. which is fine and i get why they do it. but was refreshing for osman to make references to like the real world of 2024. which like again is dumb but it was nice in this story lol.

Meet Steve, a retired policeman. His wife has died, and he is content to live out his lonely days in an English village with a cat and friends at quiz night. Amy, his daughter-in-law, chases criminals all over the world. Rosie is a high-profile writer that Amy must keep alive. When bodies begin turning up, and Amy is implicated, they must hop on jets and work together to stay alive.

This is a great story, filled with Osman's quirky, endearing characters; It was very enjoyable.
