Loved all the characters. I will definitely read the whole series. A kind and happy book with multiple murders. Good fun.

Delightful

After a few months of quite heavy thrillers, this made a refreshing change. The storyline was great but the characters are exceptional, especially the narrator; made me think of my Mum all the time. Such a great book, looking forward to the next one.

Really loved this

It took me quite a few chapters to feel comfortable with the writing style and the seemingly superficial and unconnected elements of the story. But I like Richard Osman and wanted to see what he had to offer in terms of fiction. I’m so glad I did because this is one of the best books I’ve read. The writing is crisp and the characters are engaging. The story has so many elements that I thought it would be difficult to follow all the twists and turns but I needn’t have worried. Through some wonderful writing techniques (which are very interestingly discussed in the author interview at the end of the story) everything flows smoothly, there’s no forced conclusions to any situation and everything is brought together at the end.
Leslie Manville’s narration is amazing and adds extra dimensions to this whole experience.
Can’t recommend this enough!

Wonderful characters and plot

I love this book! I'm a crime fan who loves the likes of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. Richard Osman writes with more optimism and warmth than the two, which is lovely and refreshing. The book also feels more colored in than other crime novels, because of the authenticity and nuance of the characters. I feel like I have read in black and white until now, now I have finally read in colors! I cried many times, and belly laughed more times than I cried. It is really a beautiful book. And the narrator is perfection.

Lovely
