Richard Osman’s globe-trotting series ‘We Solve Murders’ returns this September with the thrilling new mystery, We Chase Shadows.

At sunrise, high in the Italian hills, a body is found on the steps of a beautiful private villa. On the body is a threatening note, signed by a mystery man.

Back at We Solve Murders HQ, Amy, Rosie and Steve leap at the chance to take on their first proper case. So what if their new client seems to have his own reasons for avoiding the police? All they need to do is uncover who left the note, and then find them. Simple.

But once they start digging, the suspects keep piling up: there’s Sweden’s most-wanted criminal, a canny ex-wife and a fierce business rival – yet the murderer keeps evading them. And as the trio chase a villain through the shadows, danger travels closer to home . . .

Between Italy and Palm Springs, via Barcelona and Steve’s village pub, can the team catch an elusive killer who knows EXACTLY where to hide?

Listener note: Chapter 5 ends with a deliberate ellipsis. No audio is missing.

This is not for mystery buffs. This is what happens in a pub quiz I suppose. It’s more important whom you’re playing with, rather than who won. (Steve may disagree, but that’s the truth). Midway through the book I thought who could the killer be, and most of th answer was obvious. Not all of it of course. But the broad outline. Did it matter? Of course not. Loved the ending. Loved the people I met in this journey. Mr Osman, I loved the nod at the end to a retirement home.

Great characters. Amazing dialogue. Ho-hum mystery.
