Our view
“We Solve Murders” is a light, funny mystery that lives on its oddly assorted cast. It opens a new series by Richard Osman, with the warmth of his earlier books and a little danger to keep things moving. Some readers find the jokes too knowing and the book overlong, and some do not take to the characters at all.
