DESCRIPTION
#1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Osman’s globe-trotting series “We Solve Murders” returns with the thrilling new mystery, We Chase Shadows.
Back together.
Back on the case.
And back to solving murders . . .
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?

MY THOUGHTS
Richard Osman has done it again with We Chase Shadows, the second book in his delightful We Solve Murders series.
Steve Wheeler, his daughter-in-law Amy, and thriller writer Rosie D’Antonio have already proven they can solve murders anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, they haven’t been able to drum up much business - until Rosie promotes their detective agency during a daytime talk show appearance. Suddenly, they have a client: wealthy Italian vitamin and supplement salesman Vern Blackwood.
When Vern’s bodyguard is murdered and a mysterious note points to the elusive Jakob Eriksson, Steve, Amy, and Rosie are once again off on a globe-trotting investigation. Men with criminal pasts who had formed an illicit pharmaceutical products business with Vern are being killed one by one. The trio travels from Italy to Sweden, Barcelona, Palm Springs, and beyond in search of answers - and Jakob.
What I enjoy most about this series is how Osman has taken three very different people and turned them into a genuine family. Add the humor, terrific pacing, international settings, and an elusive mystery, and We Chase Shadows is an immensely enjoyable addition to the series.
I’m already looking forward to seeing where this wonderful detective agency goes next!
Many thanks to Pamela Dorman Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
