We're solving murders

These are ideas to make solving murders a family business! At first, it seemed like a pretty nice job. Who wouldn't want to be a bodyguard for an elderly, wealthy writer on her private island off the coast of South Carolina? Although, admittedly, a Russian billionaire is threatening her with death. But then experienced bodyguard Amy Wheeler herself becomes a target for assassins and, together with her eccentric client Rosie, must figure out who is after her and her boss during an adventurous getaway. The trail leads to Dubai and a mysterious crime boss named François Loubet. Fortunately, Steve Wheeler, a retired British police officer and Amy's father-in-law, who has an unusually affectionate relationship with his young daughter-in-law, helps them in their search. For her, he leaves his quiet village in the unspoilt countryside in the south-east of England for a while and even skips his favourite Wednesday pub quizzes. And also because his hobby is putting things in order... The author of The Thursday Club of Amateur Detectives comes up with a new series of unconventional cases that will have no shortage of surprising plots, gritty seniors and renowned British humour. Published in co-edition with Slovart Publishing House. "Wacky fun with a charming new ensemble and Osman's signature humor. Enjoyable reading!" - writer Shari Lapena "Osman doesn't write gritty thrillers. It doesn't have to, as it manages to charm you with memorable characters, an entertaining narrative that flows and a constant supply of humour." - The Washington Post "The author has tackled a difficult task: to come up with quirky, yet universally human characters and to come up with a sufficiently convoluted mystery. This series is sure to gain a loyal audience." - Publishers Weekly "If you were a fan of his previous series, or simply looking for a welcome escape from the daily routine, Osman's new novel is the perfect choice. Full of humour and warm humanity, and with a touch of suspense, it offers a cosy yet exciting adventure that will have you anxiously awaiting the second volume." - The Indiependent Shortly after lunch, another unpleasant email arrived. What did I do to deserve this? My sins have caught up with me! It was from Rob Kenny, my homicide facilitator. If you don't already have a homicide facilitator, you should get one, because it's so inconvenient when you have to do these things yourself. Get a good dentist, a good plumber, and a good homicide facilitator, and you'll go far. - excerpt from the book
