Featuring an exclusive conversation between Richard Osman and narrator Nicola Walker at the end of the audiobook

Richard Osman’s globe-trotting series ‘We Solve Murders’ returns this September with the thrilling new mystery, We Chase Shadows.

At sunrise, high in the Italian hills, a body is found on the steps of a beautiful private villa. On the body is a threatening note, signed by a mystery man.

Back at We Solve Murders HQ, Amy, Rosie and Steve leap at the chance to take on their first proper case. So what if their new client seems to have his own reasons for avoiding the police? All they need to do is uncover who left the note, and then find them. Simple.

But once they start digging, the suspects keep piling up: there’s Sweden’s most-wanted criminal, a canny ex-wife and a fierce business rival – yet the murderer keeps evading them. And as the trio chase a villain through the shadows, danger travels closer to home . . .

Between Italy and Palm Springs, via Barcelona and Steve’s village pub, can the team catch an elusive killer who knows EXACTLY where to hide?

Listener note: Chapter 5 ends with a deliberate ellipsis. No audio is missing.

Such great fun brilliantly read by Nicola Walker. Some laugh out loud moments, and written in a way that has you immediately (re)invested in the characters and the story.

Great follow up

Loved the development of the characters and the fabulous humour mixed with tense and dramatic moments.
Of course no better Audible narrator (or actor for that matter) than Nicola Walker so this really brought the story to life.
Hope there’s a further instalment soon 😃

Typical excellent dry humour written by Richard Osman

The first book I enjoyed but it did take a little while to ‘get into’ it. Now I have the characters in my head, further insight into the characters is mesmerising. The chapters are just the right length if you want a quick fix but don’t have lots of time to dedicate to a long listen. In a way, I sort of guessed the ending but still, the unraveling was with the listen. Richard Osman has not failed to delight, as he has delighted with all his other novels

A most excellent listen

We know the characters much better than the first book so i think I enjoyed this one even more. Well written, great little details and observations, and fantastic performances of the characters

Loved revisiting the characters
