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

Who are you?

I liked the relationships shared between the characters. The mystery part was hard to follow. There were too many characters. The twist ending would have been more exciting if I knew who they were talking about. The warmth of the main characters and their stories made the book enjoyable.

Can’t wait for the next one

Osman’s gift is the combination of combining a rollicking adventure with quirky and damaged characters that he treats with such tenderness. This gift is abundantly present in this book. If you love a murder mystery but like good writing and wonderful characters, well this is it.

Great new series starter

I’m looking forward to the next book. The plot was intriguing, the characters were likable and interesting, Bur, for me, the humor was the best part. I love an author who can make me laugh and smile while telling a story.

Can’t wait for more!

I love the Thursday Murder Club, and this one is just as captivating! A rich cast of characters and many exciting twists and turns. Is does not disappoint. The only criticism I might have is that the cast of characters is too large. It’s hard to keep up with the who’s who of the story.

I wouldn't mind chatting with these people at all

I love the characters that Richard Osman creates. So personable, even if they're thugs, criminals and murderers.
