What to expect
Narrated by Nicola Walker.
Featuring an exclusive conversation between Richard Osman and narrator Nicola Walker at the end of the audiobook
Richard Osman’s globe-trotting series ‘We Solve Murders’ returns this September with the thrilling new mystery, We Chase Shadows.
At sunrise, high in the Italian hills, a body is found on the steps of a beautiful private villa. On the body is a threatening note, signed by a mystery man.
Back at We Solve Murders HQ, Amy, Rosie and Steve leap at the chance to take on their first proper case. So what if their new client seems to have his own reasons for avoiding the police? All they need to do is uncover who left the note, and then find them. Simple.
But once they start digging, the suspects keep piling up: there’s Sweden’s most-wanted criminal, a canny ex-wife and a fierce business rival – yet the murderer keeps evading them. And as the trio chase a villain through the shadows, danger travels closer to home . . .
Between Italy and Palm Springs, via Barcelona and Steve’s village pub, can the team catch an elusive killer who knows EXACTLY where to hide?
Listener note: Chapter 5 ends with a deliberate ellipsis. No audio is missing.

This follow up book doesn't disappoint and is a sheer joy to listen too. Nicolas Walker is an excellent narrator and the humour with both the characters and plot shines through. LIke the Thursday Murder Club series there are some touching moments too. Beautifully written, can't wait for the next one in the series.
