We Solve Murders (We Solve Murders, #1)

I adored Osman's Thursday Murder Club series, though it has recently occurred to me that I can't remember a single crime those four "detectives" solved. All that mattered to me was the camaraderie between the friends and their witty repartee. I was hoping the author could capture the same magic with a different set of characters, and he mostly has, particularly with Steve, a retired detective who just wants to stay home, have conversations with his late wife, and head down to the pub for quiz night. Suddenly, like Bilbo Baggins, he has adventure thrust upon him by his beloved daughter-in-law who needs help discovering just who's trying to kill her . . . and why.
This was pure fun, and proves to be a fine start to a new series. The snappy dialogue, laugh-out-loud moments, and lovable characters that made his first four books so enjoyable are there. Don't worry - Osman promises in the afterward that he'll be returning to his Thursday folk with the next book. It seems the man can do no wrong.
Thanks to NetGalley and Pamela Dorman Books for the read.

Yay! I'm looking forward to reading it. I'm in a very long queue at the library.
