À propos de cet audio

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

“Madcap fun, with an entertaining new cast of characters and Osman’s trademark wit. Delightful!”—Shari Lapena

From the #1 bestselling author of The Thursday Murder Club Series

A brand new mystery. An iconic new detective duo. And a thrilling new murder to solve . . .

Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He still does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar routines: the pub quiz, his favorite bench, his cat waiting for him at home. His days of adventure are over. Adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s job now.

Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. Working in private security, every day is dangerous. She’s currently on a remote island protecting mega-bestselling author Rosie D’Antonio, until a dead body and a bag of money mean trouble in paradise. So she sends an SOS to the only person she trusts . . .

As a thrilling race around the world begins, can Amy and Steve outrun and outsmart a killer?

Solving murders. It’s a family business.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Richard Osman has a whole new cast of characters for you to adore. . . a fiendish mystery and rollicking adventure suffused with warmth and wit.”—Washington Post

“[Osman] introduces a beguiling new team of sleuths . . . and sends this crew on a globe-spanning investigation, enlivening his tale with dry wit, crisp dialogue, sharply drawn characters and a pinch or three of sentiment.”—Wall Street Journal

“Madcap fun, with an entertaining new cast of characters and Osman’s trademark wit. Delightful!”—Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

Editorial Review

A retired detective, a kick-ass bodyguard, and a cat named Trouble
I always feel a dash of anxiety when one of my favourite authors kicks off something totally new, but the fantastic new series starter from Richard Osman does not disappoint. There are some familiar tropes at play: retiree Steve Wheeler dabbling in investigatory work, a diverse cast of characters who come together over pints and trivia. But he ups the ante with Steve's daughter-in-law Amy, a truly hardcore veteran-turned-bodyguard who works for an elite protection contractor. And the murders these two find themselves needing to solve are epic and global in scale. In true Osman form, the dialogue is punchy, fast-paced and smart, making this listen completely impossible to put down thanks to Nicola Walker's adroit and vibrant narration. — Emily C., Audible Editor

I am a huge fan of the Thursday Murder Club series, so when I saw that Richard Osman had written something outside of the series, I was very excited to give it a try. It did not disappoint: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love the way he makes his characters, even if they are terrible humans, relatable and even likeable. This, combined with a good mystery, makes his books so much fun to read.
The narrator also knocked it out of the park by giving each character a unique voice, without going too over the top.
Hopefully this book will be the beginning of a new series!

Thursday Murder Club fans won't be disappointed

I loved it. A great cast of characters, witty dialogue and a twisty adventure! What more could you ask for? Well, I guess we could ask for the next book in the series pronto!

A romping great time!

I really enjoyed this book and it was superbly narrated by Nicola Walker who gets the tones, pace and nuances perfectly. I like the multigenerational style of humour and outlook Osman's books have as it makes the characters so very relatable. This book is fast paced for the action scenes but manages to slow down for the poignant moments around loss and love and allows us to feel with and for the characters without being overly emotive. As with the Thursday Murder Club series, which I really enjoyed too, there are lots of characters, red herrings and puzzles for us to enjoy. I like that there is always a central pet in the plot just for the normality this brings and a more down to earth vibe for the characters. Osman is not overly descriptive of his characters but it comes out in small ways in their choice of clothing, food, views on others or accoutrements which either adds a lot of humour or understanding of who they are. I look forward to solving again with Steve, Amy and Rosie as they left me with a big smile on my face this time. Thank you Richard Osman.

Loved the characters!

Liked contemporary themes, the understated humour. Thought character depth was sacrificed to the character count.

Tight and fun.

Richard Osman does it again - a literal world tour, great characters, murder mayhem and a cat named Trouble. It's the literary equivalent of your favourite box of chocolates. Also, Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, River) narrated, and boy, is she good! Harmless fun:)

Fun from beginning to end

Great story, and the way all the ends get woven in and tied together is great. I hope there will be more
