Our take
Why choose this book?
Some mysteries are bought for the solution; others are bought for the people doing the investigating. This is a natural choice for a reader who wants both. Osman’s older amateur detectives bring different skills and personalities to their shared pastime, making the group itself a large part of the attraction.
Who it suits
Readers who like character-led mysteries, British humor and a series they can return to.
Before you choose
The warm tone does not mean there is no death or sadness. Start here, with the first book, before moving on to later cases.
