the world begins, but can Amy and Steve stay one step ahead of a lethal enemy? Review: Many fans must have been disappointed with the fact that Richard Osmam
didn’t release a new book in his popular series “The Thursday Murder Club”. But
no worries, “We Solve Murders” is the first book in a new series, that follow a
retired detective and his daughter-in-law solving crimes. Steve is a widower and a retired detective, living a quiet life in the
English country. He still does some investigative work, but more in the line of
finding someone’s lost dog. His daughter-in-law Amy is working in the private
security sector and is in for some excitement. When a murder occurs, and someone’s
are also after her, Amy asks Steve for help. Taking him our of his trusted,
quiet habitat. Richard Osman is a fantastic author and his strength lies in the way he
brings his characters to life. Steve and Amy are both amazing characters and
especially loved their dynamic together. It’s fun to read from a father and
daughter-in-law relationship. I’ve never given any of his books a 5-star rating, mainly for the same
reason. The books are always a bit slow and dragging in the middle. But all of
his books, so far, have been winners and they are all super solid. And so is “We
Solve Murders”. Even though I didn’t like it as much as “The Thursday Murder
Club” series, I did really enjoy the mystery and especially the two main
characters. And I am looking forward to reading more about Steve and Amy’s
adventures together. Rating: 3,5/ 5
