We Solve Murders by Richard Osman

 I love The Thursday Murder Club series, but when I read that Richard Osman was releasing a new series, I was skeptical that it could be as good. Boy, was I ever wrong to doubt him!

Amy Wheeler is a bodyguard for a private security company. Her current assignment, guarding bestselling author Rosie D'Antonio from a Russian oligarch out to kill her, is a challenging one. Rosie is a free spirit, and when Amy is forced to kill a man, Rosie puts her considerable resources into finding out who is behind multiple murders aimed at framing Amy. With few people she can trust, Amy turns to her retired police detective father-in-law, Steve, to assist her and Rosie. Together, the trio begins following clues while trying to outsmart a hired assassin hot on their trail.

Following in the vein of The Thursday Murder Club series, Osman uses older characters to help solve murders, showing that retired individuals are just as intelligent and resourceful as their younger counterparts. Handled with humor and fast pacing, the story unwinds quickly as the trio spans the globe in search of answers. I loved the characters, especially Rosie, and I can't wait to read more about them. 

5/5 stars.
