Following the instant success of his debut novel ‘The Thursday Murder Club’, best-selling author Richard Osman has just published a brand new book called ‘We Solve Murders’.
‘The Pointless’ presenter has penned the first book in his next crime series, and it’s out now!
‘We Solve Murders’ introduces new characters Amy and Steve Wheeler, a father-and-daughter-in-law detective duo who are working against the clock to catch a killer who has Amy in next in mind.
Full synopsis for We Solve Murders
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?”

While speaking on breakfast tv show ‘This Morning’ back in February, Richard Osman hinted that he was working on something new while discussing the Netflix adaptation of ‘The Thursday Murder Club’.
He also confirmed plans for the screen adaptation of We Solve Murders.
“‘We Solve Murders’ is the name of the book,” he said at the time. “It’s out in September; it’s a brand-new series.
“Netflix have bought the rights to ‘We Solve Murders’, which is great. So it could be a busy few years.”
Osman’s ‘Thursday Murder Club’ series has sold over 10 million copies world-wide, and broke UK sales records.
We Solve Murders was released this week and it currently holds a Goodreads rating of 4.2 stars.
