The Book Club book

This is the first in a new series for detective duo Steve and Amy Wheeler.  Steve is happily retired and likes his routines: the pub quiz, sitting outside, his cat. His past was full of adventure, but now he likes a quiet life.  His daughter-in-law Amy, however, loves adrenaline. She's a private security officer, protecting a world-famous author Rosie D’Antonio on a remote island.  It should be a simple job, until there's a murder, a lot of money and someone trying to kill Amy.  

This thriller is filled with action, amusing lines and warmth.  And you need to work out "whodunnit" - who committed the crime!

'The thing that shines through in Osman’s writing is that he really likes people and revels in all their foibles and eccentricities. All of which makes for a delightful read' THE OBSERVER

Geoff says:

"Richard Osman is the famous author of the best-selling Thursday Murder Club series.  This new book has broken all records as the best-selling adult hardback fiction book in the UK. It is full of action, yet witty, with interesting characters, and full of British English idioms and colloquialisms - great for improving your knowledge of how English is actually spoken!"
