A Brand New Series from
Richard Osman
With the heart and humour of The
Thursday Murder Club combined
with the international mystery of
The Da Vinci Code, welcome to the
blockbusting new series from the
biggest new fiction author of the
decade, Richard Osman.
We Solve Murders is the first in a
new series from the record-breaking
phenomenon and globally bestselling
author Richard Osman, starring a brand-new detective duo.
Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life in the New Forest. He
does the odd bit of investigation work, but he likes his familiar
habits and routines: the pub quiz, his favourite bench, his cat
waiting for him when he gets 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: she
doesn’t stay still long enough for a habit or routine. She’s
currently on a private 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 mean an end to Steve’s quiet life. As an iconic
new detective duo is born, a breakneck race around the world
begins. But can they stay one step ahead of a deadly enemy?
Richard Osman is a creative director for Endemol UK. He has
worked as an executive producer on numerous shows including
8 Out of 10 Cats and 10 O’Clock Live. Richard rose to fame
presenting Pointless with Alexander Armstrong. Richard’s
popularity and tremendous knowledge of
trivia led to him presenting his own BBC quiz,
Two Tribes along with Insert Name Here, Child
Genius and Richard Osman’s House of Games.
He is also a regular on panel shows such as
Have I Got News For You and writes a column
for the Radio Times.
We Solve Murders hits shelves
in September 2024.

DOMINATING THE
BESTSELLER LISTS
The Fury by Alex
Michaelides
“Infinitely thrilling and
delicately crafted, the
plot keeps everyone
guessing until the
very end, with an
unscrupulous villain
to underline just
how good it is.
Do not miss it.”
Daily Mail
Savour this moment as if it
were your last breath. You can
live only one day at a time,
and no one can be certain
that they will wake up the
next morning. So let’s
not postpone happiness.
The best moment
in your life is
always this one.
