“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.
