We Solve Murders by Richard OsmanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
While Osman takes a hiatus from his signature Thursday Murder Club mystery series, he starts a new one with a slightly more international cast, if not a more likable one. In fact, most of the characters - except old Steve, who really ought to cross over with the Thursday Murder Club sometime, if not for the fact that he lives miles away from their community - just aren’t likable at all. Though that leads to some dark amusement when the murders are all of insipid influencers, a prime suspect is a crap actor best known for his role in a Fast and the Furious type franchise, also involved is an author who is basically J.D. Robb crossed with the stoner retired house DJ who’s been known to frequent my buddy Koda’s place, and the villain is a cackling Frenchman who may or may not just be ChatGPT. I lowkey hope Osman doesn’t make a series out of this one, but I think we all know the answer to that question, don’t we?
