FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB

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?

'The thing that shines through in Osman’s writing is that he really likes people and revels in all their foibles and eccentricities ... a delightful read' THE OBSERVER

'This is a sitcom-meets-Bond, and a fine murder mystery’ DAILY EXPRESS

'Much as with the earlier books, I read We Solve Murders in a few pleasured gulps' SUNDAY TIMES

Editorial Review

A retired detective, a kick-ass bodyguard, and a cat named Trouble
I always feel a dash of anxiety when one of my favourite authors kicks off something totally new, but the fantastic new series starter from Richard Osman does not disappoint. There are some familiar tropes at play: retiree Steve Wheeler dabbling in investigatory work, a diverse cast of characters who come together over pints and trivia. But he ups the ante with Steve's daughter-in-law Amy, a truly hardcore veteran-turned-bodyguard who works for an elite protection contractor. And the murders these two find themselves needing to solve are epic and global in scale. In true Osman form, the dialogue is punchy, fast-paced and smart, making this listen completely impossible to put down thanks to Nicola Walker's adroit and vibrant narration. — Emily C., Audible Editor

Not just a strong story but a good understanding of each character and place. Having lived in the New Forest I could really relate. Have bought the hardback for the Mrs as she does not do audio books

Most enjoyable book ever listened to

I really liked this book, finishing it in 2 sittings (well, walks and housework etc). The narrator read it perfectly.

I’m looking forward to this growing into a series as, like the previous books, the characters were likeable and I’m pinyin how they develop.

Fantastic narration and enjoyable story

Such clever characters with whom we can emphasise. Quietly amusing but with some lovely twists. No spoilers, but much look forward to seeing Amt, Steve and Rosie again, if that’s possible!

What a cracking tale!

After the Thursday Murder Club I wasn't sure if I was going to feel the same about this new group. No worries I'm hooked, can't wait for thier next adventure.

Done it again

Richard has done it again. I was really looking forward to this new addition to the Osman stable and I was not dissappointed. What a great story, narration great, full of excitement and interest. The author has set up the characters and background fo this new series so well. I am looking forward to the next one almost as much as the next 'Thursday murder club ' . Thanks for the gift of your writing Richard. You make a lot of people very happy 😊 xxx
