GoodReads Monday

This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.

Happy Monday! I hope that you are all doing well and have had a fantastic start to your week. This week I am excited about a book that doesn’t come out until the fall. Such a long time to wait I know, but I am sure it will be worth it.

We Solve Murders by Richard Osman

Publication Date: September 17, 2024

Summary from Goodreads:

A brand new series. An iconic new detective duo. And a puzzling new murder to solve…

Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar habits and routines: the pub quiz, his favorite bench, his cat waiting for him when he comes home. His days of adventure are over: adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s business now.

Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. As a private security officer, she doesn’t stay still long enough for habits or routines. She’s currently on a remote island keeping world-famous author Rosie D’Antonio alive. Which was meant to be an easy job…

Then a dead body, a bag of money, and a killer with their sights on Amy have her sending an SOS to the only person she trusts. A breakneck race around the world begins, but can Amy and Steve stay one step ahead of a lethal enemy?

I really like that cover, so simple, yet very compelling. I knew that we weren’t going to get another Thursday Murder Club book this year, but I wasn’t sure if he was still going to write mysteries. So I am super excited that it is a new mystery/thriller with some new characters that sound like they are going to be a lot of fun. I am going to trust this author to give us something just as much fun and exciting as his other series.

What about you? What is new and exciting on your TBR recently? Have you read the Thursday Murder Club books? Are you excited about this new one? Let me know in the comments.
