Summary

FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB

A brand new series.

An iconic new detective duo.

And a thrilling new murder to solve . . .

Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar habits and routines: the pub quiz, his favourite bench, his cat waiting for him when he comes home. His days of adventure are over: adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s business now.

Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. As a private security officer, she doesn’t stay still long enough for habits or routines. She’s currently on a remote island keeping world-famous author Rosie D’Antonio alive. Which was meant to be an easy job . . .

Then a dead body, a bag of money and a killer with their sights on Amy have her sending an SOS to the only person she trusts. A breakneck race around the world begins, but can Amy and Steve 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. All of which makes for a delightful read – and another little slice of warmth in time for autumn' 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

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

I wasn't sure The Thursday Muder Club could be equalled but I enjoyed this as much. The characters are so beautifully drawn, with all their little quirks. Even the bad guys have their good points. Thoroughly enjoyed the story and binge listened to it. Nicola Walker's narration was excellent.

Wonderful characters

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!
