We Solve Murders

Welcome to The Perfect Blend, the podcast where we pair the books we read with a delicious cup of tea.

I'm Shelley Haskell.

And I'm Candy Beaker.

Welcome to The Perfect Blend.

My name is Candy.

I'm Kelly and I'm so glad that you have decided to join us today.

We are sticking with some of our travel destinations for the month of July.

And this book has several and it is a good high stakes murder mystery by one of our favorite authors, Richard Osman.

And this is called We Solve Murders.

The last time we did him was in 2023 when we covered the Thursday murder.

And this is his new series.

It is.

It came out in 2024.

And the second book is coming out this September.

I think if you like The Thirsty Murder Club, you're going to love this.

It was different, but it's going to be a good series.

It was different, but it still had a lot of his dry British humor in it and a lot of different interesting characters and really, really smart intrigue going on.

Yes.

That's what I love about his other books and just him.

He's just a smart, funny guy.

And this shows up in this book as well.

One of the things that I did notice when I was looking up about him is that he got the OBE added to his name since we last looked in on him.

So he's the Order of the British Empire.

Well, he's that good.

I have not read anything by him that I've been disappointed with.

He just has that smart, intelligent humor and intrigue all wrapped into his books.

Makes you want to keep going to find out what's going to go on.

I really enjoyed it.
