Enjoyable fast paced mystery/thriller. I’m more into cozy mysteries but was interesting and I liked the characters. Just a little darker than the other the author’s other series - The Thursday Murder Club.

One thing Richard Osman will do is make me emotionally attached to a bunch of 70 year olds.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to his writing style now or if it’s genuinely because he’s gotten better, but I feel like I grew more quickly attached to the cast of We Solve Murders than I did to the crew in The Thursday Murder Club. (Don’t get me wrong, I still adore them, but I think it just took me a little longer to develop that attachment to all of the main cast.) I’m also intrigued as to where the series goes from here, and I’m kind of sad that we won’t get to see more of Amy, Steve and Rosie in the coming year. (I’d also love to see more Adam—the fact that Amy and Adam don’t have any scenes together in the same room seems crazy to me, and I’d love to see him more in future books!)

A fun, adventurous mystery with a loveable, cooky cast of characters. Not necessarily the most hard to solve mystery, but very fun and entertaining. Was funny in some parts and sweet and endearing in others. Very excited for a sequel! And I appreciated how many fun, clever, weird elderly characters there were, rather than stereotypes.

I enjoyed this to the point that the bad guy was not a good reveal? like I know he was mentioned a bit in the book but not enough for the reveal to be interested or shocking
I did like Rosie and Steve and all that, the crew was quite cute but the reveal was lacking it's impact

“If you have any sort of personality, someone will eventually want to kill you.”
I'm a big fan of the Thursday Murder Club series as I love the writing, characters and humor, so I couldn't resist adding this new series to my wishlist immediately. I admit that part of me was a bit worried that We Solve Murders wouldn't be quite as good as a new sequel of a series that is already a favorite... I ended up being wrong though, because I ended up loving We Solved Murders even more! The characters, the humor, the murder mystery, the writing, the international travel... There was so much to love in this first book, and I already can't wait to see what the characters will be up to next. We Solve Murders is in part a cozy mystery, although there is quite a lot of action and danger to be found along the way. I think the key is in the balance of that danger with lighter moments and a humor that was simply spot on for me. The cast of characters was amazing, and this made it really easy to start rooting for them from the very beginning. Both Amy and Steve make for such a great team, but my favorite character is without a doubt Rosie. She is such a hoot! There were some surprises along the way, and while I did guess part of the truth I personally didn't mind as I was too busy having fun following the characters around the world. I know it is still early in the year, but I'm having a sneaking feeling that We Solve Murders will end up on my list of 2025 favorites.
