I can't get enough of the characters - and the tangled murder mystery plots - that Richard Osman creates. I was so excited to pick up his newest to hold me over while I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment of the Thursday Murder Club. A small part of me was worried that I may not enjoy this one as much as I do the TMC since I'm so attached to that world and those characters, but We Solve Murders did not disappoint. Osman creates such a palpable sense of tension without giving way to sheer anxiety in his novels, striking (in my opinion) the perfect balance for the cozy mystery genre! I had a hard time tearing myself away from this book once I'd started. It's the perfect snack - satisfying, sweet without being overly so, and you always wish you had more in the end! Sometimes there are so many characters that it can be easy to get a bit lost in the thick of the plot, but I always enjoy the way Osman writes his reveals - slowly peeling back one layer of the onion at a time into a deeply satisfying conclusion. This book was no exception - there were a lot of people and places to keep track of but it culminated in a fantastic ending that kept me hooked until the last few pages. I don't think I'll ever get sick of his books and look forward to reading many more!

This was a lot of fun, and I'll be looking forward to the next one while catching up on Osman's other prior works. I especially enjoyed the bit on the Irish talk show. A couple of red herrings that I actually thought weakened the book, but overall, it was entertaining and the relationships between Amy and Steve and Amy and Adam were great. All we now need is a relationship between Steve and Adam, which I suspect will develop over time. Hope to see Rosie come back in the future as well. She was a really great pal!

I love this author, especially when I can listen to his writing with an excellent narrator.  This story jumps in with murders, money laundry, assassins-for-hire, and wonderful characters.

What fun!  I hope Mr Osman manages to keep both series going, but as long as he writes his brand of humour and human collection, I will be reading - and sharing.  Please keep Rosie in the mix, and there just aren't enough crazy Dutchmen like Henk in current fiction.  Highly recommended - and i'm about to gift a copy to my own crazy Dutch dad.  He's going to love it.
