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!)
