This novel is the first entry in a new series by the author of the wildly successful Thursday Murder Club. Osman’s characteristic wit and humor are on display, and the plot was great! This is one of those books, you will compulsively finish.
We begin with a murder, of course. Someone is murdering B-list social media stars and leaving bags of cash at the scenes. Enter our bodyguard and the lead investigator for this tale, Amy Wheeler. She is currently protecting a big name author who is wealthy and eccentric—her last book named a Russian criminal and he has threatened to get even. Amy calls in Steve, her father-in-law and a retired homicide detective to round out the team as they go on the run to find the killer before he manages to complete the job on Amy.
Like I said, the plotting is A+. By the end all the loose ends are tied up, you’ve laughed, you’ve read some skewering social commentary, and you’ve unraveled a plot that is slightly Byzantine. All of this while becoming more enamored of the fabulous cast of characters Osman brings to the book.
Great fun and a Great read. Try it out…
