Reviews
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."
--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 "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 "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."
