Richard Osman

Richard Osman's mysteries are set in a retirement village, where four friends who have spent a lifetime noticing things turn out to be very good at solving murders. The books are funny and warm, but they take the people in them seriously, including the ones who die. Start with «The Thursday Murder Club», where the cold-case club gets a fresh body to think about. If you like the group, «The Man Who Died Twice» brings them back, with an ex-spy among them and a letter from a man she watched die.

Feels like friendship, humor and ambition.

Start with The Thursday Murder Club.

Osman spent two decades as a television producer and quiz-show presenter (Pointless, House of Games) before publishing his first novel, at forty-nine.

A confession in the tone of someone recommending a good restaurant.

Uccidere qualcuno è semplice. È quando si tratta di occultare la salma che viene il difficile. È così che finisci per farti beccare. Ma se incappi nel posto giusto, puoi tirare il fiato. È fatta. Io ho avuto la fortuna di trovare il posto perfetto. Ci vengo ancora, di tanto in tanto, solo per dare un’occhiata e controllare che sia tutto in ordine. Ma non c’è niente da vedere, e credo che mai ci sarà. A volte mi fumo una sigaretta. So che non dovrei, ma è l’unico vizio che mi è rimasto.
