About this listen

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

Loved it!

I was initially disappointed not to have the next instalment of the Thursday Murder Club but this new book from Richard Osman was an absolute treat! Excellent, extremely likeable characters and an exotic plot woven with the author’s characteristic wit that had me chuckling out loud at times. Can’t wait for the next book in both series now!

Loved it!!!

I don’t write many reviews, but after seeing some of the disappointing reviews here I felt I had to!
I absolutely loved this book! Great writing (obviously) great characters, fabulous narration. The only thing I’m disappointed about is I’ve finished it and will have to now wait for the next book lol!
Just a wonderful read (or listen)!

Didn't want it to end

I guess you either like it or not, and I loved it. Especially what's not there: Long sentences with lots of adjetives. And whether Osman writes about pensioners or bodyguards, it's the love of humans that shines through it all. Nicola Walker makes it all to music, so I'm already waiting for the next adventure!

Fantastic narration and enjoyable story

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.

Fabulous

This book is fantastic, you’ll want to read or listen to it in one go I know I did.
It’s so funny and so much better than the murder club and I loved them! Can’t wait for the next instalment.

Done it again

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.

Awesome book

Really enjoyed this book! Big fan of The Thursday Murder Club series and was excited to hear that Richard Osman was starting a new series off. Story is great, I finished it in around 4 sittings. Narrator was fantastic too. Highly recommend

Osman Virgin

This is my Osman book and I’ve have to say I felt the dialogue between each character was wonderful. This book had my eyes sweating and me laughing out loud from the start. Great characters, great dialogue, great story. Great Book

Another winner!

Full marks again. I’d guessed who one of the bad guys was as soon as the character was introduced, however this did not diminish my enjoyment as this book.
Many laugh out loud moments.
Wonderful writing.
