INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
“Madcap fun, with an entertaining new cast of characters and Osman’s trademark wit. Delightful!” —Shari Lapena
From the #1 bestselling author of The Thursday Murder Club Series
A brand new mystery. An iconic new detective duo. And a thrilling new murder to solve . . .
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?
Solving murders. It’s a family business.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
British-TV-personality-turned-mystery-novelist Richard Osman is back with a new series that’s high-octane fun. Amy Wheeler is a private bodyguard for a major international firm, currently on duty on a South Carolina island protecting Rosie D’Antonio, an ageing and eccentric thriller author. Amy’s father-in-law, Steve, a retired London cop turned self-appointed private investigator for his sleepy village in the south of England, gets reluctantly pulled into Amy’s case when a mysterious smuggler attempts to pin a series of murders of small-time social media influencers on her. And the two of them—plus Rosie, who hasn’t had such a good time in years—turn out to be a pretty swell team. Osman writes here with just as much laugh-out-loud wit and sincere empathy as in his best-selling cozy Thursday Murder Club series, but the pace is faster and the stakes are higher. This book simply flies past, and every page is an absolute delight.
Customer Reviews
Another Most Excellent Richard Osman Adventure
I have to be honest—having fallen in love with the Thursday Murder Club members Joyce, Elizabeth, Ibrahim, and Ron, and their most amazing and excellent adventures, I was not entirely confident that these newcomers could compete.
But it turns out they didn’t need to compete! They have their own charms, their own compelling personalities, and I fell for them on their own unique merits.
Amy, Steve, and Rosie—plus a side cast of intriguing personalities—tantalized, vastly entertained, and—dang it!—had me falling for them too.
Their differences and, consequently, unique situations and troubles—hoo boy, are they ever!—kept me on the edge of my seat. And I confess to, now and again threatening, under my breath (mostly), mayhem to the author should anything horrible befall them.
But, all’s well that ends well. Until I start the next book in Richard Osman’s WE SOLVE MURDERS Adventure.
A breezy read. I figured out the who behind the capers but still an enjoyable story.
