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.

Great fun! A globetrotting mystery adventure with a quirky cast that includes a frighteningly competent body guard, her curmudgeonly ex-copper father-in-law, her high-rolling author client, plus bosses and bad guys, celebrities and wannabes, a cat called Trouble and a pub quiz team. You might have some of the mystery solved by the end, but Osman's writing is so compelling you'll read at a gallop and be happy for the ride.
