A brand new mystery. An iconic new detective duo. And a thrilling new murder to solve . . .
Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He still does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar routines: the pub quiz, his favorite bench, his cat waiting for him at home. His days of adventure are over. Adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s job now.
Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. Working in private security, every day is dangerous. She’s currently on a remote island protecting mega-bestselling author Rosie D’Antonio, until a dead body and a bag of money mean trouble in paradise. So she sends an SOS to the only person she trusts . . .
As a thrilling race around the world begins, can Amy and Steve outrun and outsmart a killer?
Solving murders. It’s a family business.
I loved the Thursday Murder Club books but this one seemed contrived. Had a plot device that just didn't work and characters I really didn't like, unlike TMC. Didn't finish it.

“Ah, one must admire Mr. Richard Osman’s enthusiasm for his craft, particularly his apparent fondness for recycling themes and situations within his novels—a dedication to reusability rivaled only, perhaps, by the honorable Mr. Sunak’s own affection for bins.
Indeed, it may be said that if you’ve had the pleasure of perusing one of Mr. Osman’s works, you’ve rather read them all. Yet, one can’t help but tip one’s hat to his resourcefulness; a small mark of distinction, surely, for finding a clever means to delegate portions of his writing, with the assistance of our friend, ChatGPT.”
