WE SOLVE MURDERS by Richard Osman

Osman has written another intelligent murder mystery peopled with fully drawn characters, an intricate plot, and a sense of humor. He does spend a fair amount of time establishing his characters, but the intelligence of the resulting plot and writing makes the time spent worthwhile. This time his series is peopled by a private detective (Amy Wheeler) protecting a world famous author (Rosie) who happens to be a scheming curmudgeon, and Amy’s father-in-law, Steve, a blissfully retired police detective.
When bodies (several) and money (lots of money) show up, the question becomes who is Francois Loubert and why does he want Amy dead? Hijinks abound along with murder, mysterious characters, round the world plane rides, and danger in plenty as our intrepid PI and her erstwhile protectee, now her companion is sleuthing, and her reluctant father-in-law attempt to answer those questions and, more importantly, stay alive.

After Osman’s successful run with the Thursday Murder Club books, he entertains us with a new set of engaging characters and engrossing story lines. I’m looking forward to further adventures with Amy, Rosie and Steve. This series is lots of fun and lots of intrigue. Enjoy!

5 stars and well worth your time.

Adrenaline, Dictaphone, no regrets…

Raise the curtain for Richard Osman’s latest production! We Solve Murders stars Steve Wheeler, father-in-law / retired policeman with 25 years of service and daughter-in-law Amy Wheeler, who works as a private security officer.

Three murder victims, all clients of Maximum Impact Solutions (Amy’s employer) have been found. Evidence found at each crime scene ties Amy to the crimes.

Steve and Amy will team together to solve the puzzle and to learn the identity of Francois Loubet. Nothing will stop them in their quest!

Well, ALMOST nothing!


THAT LAST LINE!!! (Don’t peek!)

Osman has a unique way of writing. Count me in as a recent fan!

A frenzy of a story! Funny, twisty, and refreshing characters! Lots of high jinks! Rosie is a hoot!

I started reading Osman and Stevenson at the same time. I did not expect to like the books by either author. (Cozy mysteries are NOT my usual genre). I have now read 5 books by Osman. I am waiting for the next Thursday Murder Club book and now look forward to the next book about the Wheelers!
