\n

I saw We Solve Murders<\/em> in the airport and as I was in the mood for a fun holiday read, picked it up. I really enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club<\/a><\/em> so was intrigued to see where Richard Osman would take this new book which, based on the title anyway, follows the same murder mystery \/ crime themes as his famous series.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\n

Opening sentence:<\/strong> You must leave as few clues as possible. That\u2019s the only rule.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meet Amy and Steve Wheeler<\/h2>\n

Our lead characters: Amy is a private security guard for Rosie D\u2019Antonio, a world-famous author and Steve is her father-in-law. He\u2019s a retired policeman who lives in the New Forest and has a quiet life that revolves around quiz nights and evenings in his local pub.<\/p>\n

As you can see, they have very different lives, but they are close. Interestingly, we don\u2019t hear much about or from the man who links them, Amy\u2019s husband \u2013 aside from that he has a fractured relationship with Steve. <\/p>\n

When a series of people linked to the agency Amy works for are found dead, one thing links them \u2013 Amy was in the vicinity when all of them were murdered. <\/p>\n

Amy looks like she\u2019s being set up and she needs help \u2013 so she calls on the only person she can trust, and who has a background in detective skills:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018There are murders to be solved, and I can\u2019t do it by myself. It\u2019s you and me.<\/em>\u2018
\u2018But we don\u2019t solve murders,<\/em>\u2018 says Steve.
He can hear Amy smiling down the phone. \u2018Then we\u2019re going to have to start.<\/em>\u2018<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Round the world chase<\/h2>\n

What then follows is a high-octane, round-the-world chase that sees Amy desperately trying to discover who is actually behind the murders so that she doesn\u2019t get accused of them herself.<\/p>\n

While the plot was definitely well-paced and clever, it\u2019s alway really helpful when one of the characters (in this case, Rosie D\u2019Antonio) is so rich that nothing is a problem. Just hop in your private jet and off you go! The world really is boundless to the rich. Whether you\u2019re trying to solve crimes or not.<\/p>\n

Overall, my feelings about this book are that while I enjoyed We Solve Murders<\/em>, I\u2019m not quite sure why it wasn\u2019t just another of the Thursday Murder Club <\/em>series? The differences between the two in voice, characters (albeit there are new characters here, but they could easily slip into the world of Joyce etc) are slight.<\/p>\n

As you would expect from a Richard Osman novel, the plot delivers, there are jokes in the right places and characters are endearing. I\u2019m not saying I didn\u2019t enjoy this page-turner but I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll be reading more in the series. Just personally, it\u2019s not quite hitting the mark for me!<\/p>\n
