We Solve Murders by Richard OsmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
(4 1/2 stars) Steve Wheeler is a retired police detective living in England and keeping busy with his private investigation company, Steve Investigates. His daughter-in-law Amy works as a bodyguard for a private high-level security company, currently on a South Carolina private island guarding Rosie D'Antonio, a world famous author. Amy enlists Steve's assistance in protecting Rosie, and murder attempts, jet setting, red herrings, false accusations, and hilarity ensue.
Reader, be aware - The plot is very complex and involves many sub-plots and characters. There are a lot of moving parts to keep track of - characters, locations, motivations, and alliances. However, it's all worth it and I literally raced through this fast-paced novel. In particular I loved the very special relationship that Steve and Amy have, bonding over their very frequent phone calls. And Rosie is just a laugh-out-loud fun person to have along during any caper.
This is the beginning of a new series by Richard Osman, very well known for his Thursday Murder Club series which I'm thoroughly enjoying. And I'm definitely looking forward to the second book in this series. The author has such a skill of adding so much humanity and feeling to his main characters.
