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

Can't wait for more!!

Great story with great narration. Faster paced and more modern than the Thursdays, making for a more relatable read for me as a not-quite 30 year old.

Looking forward to hearing the next instalment (assuming there will be one because how could Richard not create another mystery for the new gang) 💜

Brilliantly witty and immersive

As soon as I heard Nicola’s voice I settled right in and felt the characters and the plot emerge as only the Richard’s writing style can do. Couldn’t wait to grab time to listen. Can’t wait for the next one.

Excellent fun!!

I loved this book! It was exquisitely brought to life by the narrator. The characters were fun and the story was joyful. I could not stop listening. Light entertainment at its best. I could t stop smiling.

Best one yet from Osman

Very easy to listen to, engaging story that holds attention and interest, but not so complex you lose track of. Characters that you root for. Sad it’s over.

Cosy twee amusing darkness!

Nicola Walker can read me a phone book and make me happy, reading me this funny warm complicated murdery murder mystery a delight. Richard Osman has done it again, and this promised series has got me right the “feels”. Fresh delightful characters who are already on my friends list.

Loved the yarn!

Loved the narration by the fabulous Nicola Walker! Enjoyed the characters- especially Steve and Amy and their heartwarming relationship. A rattling good yarn - thanks Richard - this was well worth the wait! Looking forward to the next book.
