We Chase Shadows is the 2026 comedy-mystery novel written by bestselling author Richard Osman.
Osman is The Thursday Murder Club author. Always entertaining.
I actually wasn’t all that impressed with the first book in this series ➙ We Solve Murders (2024).
This one is better, but still a bit rambling and confused.
I couldn’t understand how the characters could so quickly & easily teleport between Italy, Sweden, California, Barcelona, and Quiz Night at Steve’s quiet village pub.
Comedy seems the goal, not the plot. And it is very funny.
… sunrise in the picturesque Italian hills, where a dead body is discovered on the steps of a luxury private villa. Found on the corpse is a threatening note signed by a mysterious entity.
Back at agency headquarters, the mismatched detective trio—Amy Wheeler (a fierce global security expert), Steve Wheeler (her structured, retired-cop father-in-law), and Rosie D’Antonio (a larger-than-life, bestselling author who finances the operation)—leap at the opportunity to sink their teeth into their first official case.
Their client, a wealthy supplement mogul hiding out in a high-security compound, has clear motives for keeping the police out of the loop.
