Richard Osman's new murder mystery book is out now
Richard Osman's new murder mystery novel We Solve Murders is available to buy now.
The Pointless star and author of the best-selling franchise The Thursday Murder Club has penned a new book that is the first in a new crime book series.
We Solve Murders introduces readers to Amy and Steve Wheeler, a new father-and-daughter-in-law detective duo who are in a race to catch a killer following the discovery of a dead body.
Osman teased his latest book in an interview on This Morning in February, where he confirmed plans for a screen adaptation of the book by Netflix – who are also involved in the upcoming The Thursday Murder Club movie starring Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.
"We Solve Murders is the name of the book," he said at the time. "It's out in September; it's a brand-new series.
"Netflix have bought the rights to We Solve Murders, which is great. So it could be a busy few years."
The full book synopsis reads: "Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar habits and routines: the pub quiz, his favourite bench, his cat waiting for him when he comes home. His days of adventure are over: adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s business now.
"Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. As a private security officer, she doesn’t stay still long enough for habits or routines. She’s currently on a remote island keeping world-famous author Rosie D’Antonio alive. Which was meant to be an easy job...
"Then a dead body, a bag of money and a killer with their sights on Amy have her sending an SOS to the only person she trusts. A breakneck race around the world begins, but can Amy and Steve stay one step ahead of a deadly enemy?"
The Thursday Murder Club is yet to confirm a cinema release date. The book and its sequels are available to buy on Amazon.
