‘Packed with clever twists’ HARLAN COBEN
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?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
After the runaway success of The Thursday Murder Club—including a film adaptation—Richard Osman proved his wit and charm once again with 2024’s We Solve Murders, the first in a fun new series of novels. We Chase Shadows finds that book’s motley trio of Amy, Rose and Steve reconvening for another caper, this time a globetrotting affair that begins with a corpse found at a sunny Italian villa. From there, the intrigue spans several other countries, all rendered with the author’s sparkling, self-aware take on the modern murder mystery. As always with Osman, you can expect a surfeit of laughs without sacrificing the cosy delights (or proper suspense) of the medium. And so many fresh new settings will only see our sleuths getting into more complicated high jinks as we learn more about them as people.
