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.

Critic reviews

“Richard Osman has a whole new cast of characters for you to adore. . . a fiendish mystery and rollicking adventure suffused with warmth and wit.”—Washington Post

“[Osman] introduces a beguiling new team of sleuths . . . and sends this crew on a globe-spanning investigation, enlivening his tale with dry wit, crisp dialogue, sharply drawn characters and a pinch or three of sentiment.”—Wall Street Journal

“Madcap fun, with an entertaining new cast of characters and Osman’s trademark wit. Delightful!”Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

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 favorite 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

Didn’t want it to end

What makes Richard Osman’s book so good is his character development. I’ve read all of his novels to date and what I think every time is I don’t want the book to end. I want more. That feeling held true in We Solve Murders and I can’t wait for book two.

I will read anything this man writes

Funny, wholesome, just all round a great book. Big fan of the Thursday murder club so I was excited to read something else from him. It has his same spirit. Great characters

Very entertaining! Superb narration! MORE PLEASE!

The Thursday Murder Club series is a favorite of mine. Now there is another in the making.

Richard Osman is my ideal author. He has quirky characters doing strange and fun things to solve unusual murders. Quite the entertaining ride! I will re-listen to it again soon to be sure I heard "all the fine print". Thank you, Mr. Osman for bringing fun to my days. Will be on alert for Book 2!

I liked everything about this book just don’t want to wait for Book 2! I hope this is the beginning of a series. I’ll miss these characters - relatable & outrageous at the same time.

Wonderful, fun, touching

Loved this book and the characters, who, although a little less sweet than the Thursday murder club crew, are still heartwarming and who still bring some coziness to the table.
