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

Amazing! Feels like I just’ve read the script of the good movie!

I read all the books from Thursday Murders Club, I liked the idea of the series, but sometimes there were too many characters, you could got lost, some of them were unnecessary. This book is smth way better in terms of writing and structure - and still with amazing Osman’s humour.

Hilarious

I loved the wit and humour Richard Osman always puts into his writing! This one didn’t disappoint.

Brilliant storyline

Loved the humor and the characters. Excellent story telling. Masterfully mysterious until the very end.

A little different to Osman’s others but a lot of fun

Good solid escapist thriller reading. Fun characters as always, approachable and leaving you with a sense that they could be friends of yours or, at the very least, good for a fun night at the pub.
Unlike Osman’s others this is an outward, globe-trotting affair. Think private jets, Dubai, US, Caribbean islands, but
Ultimately it’s the guy from the local small English town that shines through .
Also worth noting is how Osman, once again strikes the right emotional notes on personal loss and heartache (a key character is a widower), without delving into melodrama. As a widower myself, it was poignant with a smile.
Only caveat: because it’s slightly different to his other stuff in the stage he’s chosen, it might take a few chapters to buy-in.
Already looking forward to this being a series. Recommend .

Perfect narration

Really enjoyed Nicola walker’s story telling. Fun and easy, unputdownable listen elevated by the reading

Delicious

It seems counterintuitive to say that a book about murders is delightful; but this is.
Nicola Walker’s reading is exemplary and funny: so so funny!
I imagine this will become a TV series or a film, but I can’t help but hope it doesn’t… the writing style is so precise, so sharp that I think this would be one time that seeing wouldn’t be nearly as much fun as reading or in this case hearing.
I can hope for a ‘Slow Horses’, I suppose !

Fantastic book

Well written and I enjoyed the audio. Osman always has a way of thinking you are going one way, but then turns 180 degrees

Enjoyable romp with a new quirky trio

Not quite as engaging as the Thursday Murder club gang, but likely to turn into a popular series. A gentle, easy going listen with some twists and turns, with little moments of insights into the characters built up nicely

Very nice, intelligent humor and nice cozy murder mystery

Really appreciate a cozy myrder mystery with self irony and good humor. If you liked the Thursday murder club and Remarkably bright creatures, this is your type of book.

Superb narration

Superb narration. Excellent story. A jolly good read. I hope there’ll be lots more to follow.
