Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Nilufer on April 03, 2025

OMG! Osman has brought back the big guns and released a brand-new addictive series that I highly enjoyed.

Goodreads review by Anne on April 17, 2025

Who else hit the pre-order button like this? It opens in South Carolina, I couldn't resist. Steve and Amy Wheeler make one of the most charming crime-solving duos I've read. A father-in-law and his daughter-in-law? That is a bit different. And while over the course of the novel, you learn a lot about ea......more

Goodreads review by Yun on December 08, 2024

From where I'm sitting, it seems like Richard Osman can do no wrong. It's no secret that I love The Thursday Murder Club series. So when I heard the author was going to venture away and start another series with brand new characters, I was obviously excited. But also nervous. Because what if Richard......more

Quotes

Praise for We Solve Murders

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

“The thing that shines through in Osman’s writing, for me, 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 Guardian


“I love, love, love Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series and was devastated to learn he was taking a pause to allow his senior citizen stars a minute to recover from solving four murders in four years. But I’m happy to say We Solve Murders is a worthy follow-up. Part of a whole new series, this story features a security guard and her retired police-officer father-in-law as protagonists, and together they’re just as endearing and funny as the Thursday group.”
—Elle

We Solve Murders is an outstanding mystery novel. . . a pitch-perfect blend of the cozy mystery and thriller genres. . . Mystery fans have been richly rewarded with We Solve Murders, and will be happy to know that Osman has more in store for these characters.”
—BookPage

“Osman introduces another lovable group of unwitting investigators. . . As in Osman’s other series, they cross paths with a variety of people—including drug-dealing politicians, customs agents, and social media influencers—who may or may not be inclined to help them, and watching the unlikely threesome charm each other and (almost) everyone they meet is a delight. . . Osman fans will be glad to hop on that private jet and go along for the ride.”
—Kirkus (starred review)

“Bestseller Osman (the Thursday Murder Club mysteries) launches a promising new series with this sprightly tale . . . Osman pulls off the tricky task of making his leads both zany and human, with a sufficiently brain-teasing mystery to boot. This series is sure to garner a loyal following.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“With huge dollops of heart and humor, this will delight Osman fans and attract new readers who will get caught up in the thrill of it all.”
—Booklist (starred review)

“Osman’s new novel will be in high demand. . . This humorous caper quickly picks up speed, and readers will root for the trio.”
—Library Journal


“[A] delightful and twisty read.”
—Town & Country

“Expect madcap fun.”
—AARP Magazine

“[An] indelible, incomparable sleuthing team.”
—CrimeReads

“Brilliant characters, sparkling banter and a very big heart.” 
—Woman & Home (UK)

“As with Osman’s previous novels, there’s a life-affirming insistence that older people have much left to contribute and enjoy. And I’m pleased to note that despite the book’s international flavor, many jokes are defiantly aimed at a British audience, often showcasing Osman’s encyclopedic knowledge of low-rent television. Don’t begrudge the absence of the old favorites, then: We Solve Murders is as infallible a pick-me- up as its predecessors.” 
—Daily Telegraph (UK)
