Story
Fiona, Sue, and Daisy, three retired ladies who volunteer at the local charity shop, Dogs Need Nice Homes, can’t believe their favorite customer is dead. Eighty-six-year-old Sarah Brown was found murdered in her hallway by her delivery man, a domino clutched in her hand—with a name scratched on it. When another person is found dead with a domino in their hand, and with the police making no progress, the ladies will need to help unmask a serial killer. At least they have Fiona’s scruffy-haired terrier cross to assist them.

Story
With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn's most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don't find evil so attractive, Evie. But just when she's getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat . . . and not just the literal kind.

Fabulous
This book absolutely nailed it. Amazingly well drawn characters, plot twists that make total sense in retrospect and a great resolution and the promise of more to come. I’m a fan.

Bravo!
I may be 37, but at times feel like a boomer...The characters are absolutely delightful, even the “bad guys” are admirable, well at least one of them. I cannot wait for the next book to come out, well done Richard.

Reminiscent of Agatha Christie
A lovely easy read with fun characters. It does tend towards dwelling on the fragility of life and relationships at times, so keep a hanky handy. I would be happy to read more in this series if they are as good as this one.

Fantastic book with amazing characters and observations
The tenderness of the characterisation of all the characters in his book is next level. The story is a rattlingly great whodunit and nothing disappoints. For me I particularly enjoyed the way in which the elderly were represented, their observations, things like their lack of technical ability and their use of teamwork to solve little things like accessing a laptop (that moves!). One of the best and most enjoyable reads in have had in a very long time.

Really loved this
After a few months of quite heavy thrillers, this made a refreshing change. The storyline was great but the characters are exceptional, especially the narrator; made me think of my Mum all the time. Such a great book, looking forward to the next one.

Wonderful characters and plot
It took me quite a few chapters to feel comfortable with the writing style and the seemingly superficial and unconnected elements of the story. But I like Richard Osman and wanted to see what he had to offer in terms of fiction. I’m so glad I did because this is one of the best books I’ve read. The writing is crisp and the characters are engaging. The story has so many elements that I thought it would be difficult to follow all the twists and turns but I needn’t have worried. Through some wonderful writing techniques (which are very interestingly discussed in the author interview at the end of the story) everything flows smoothly, there’s no forced conclusions to any situation and everything is brought together at the end.
Leslie Manville’s narration is amazing and adds extra dimensions to this whole experience.
Can’t recommend this enough!

Lovely
I love this book! I'm a crime fan who loves the likes of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. Richard Osman writes with more optimism and warmth than the two, which is lovely and refreshing. The book also feels more colored in than other crime novels, because of the authenticity and nuance of the characters. I feel like I have read in black and white until now, now I have finally read in colors! I cried many times, and belly laughed more times than I cried. It is really a beautiful book. And the narrator is perfection.

Astonishing debut and superb voice performance
Osman’s debut is astonishing insofar as voice, characterization and the sheer tenderness involved in the dynamic is concerned. Think famous five in a deluxe elderly home. The plot is also deeply satisfying- the only flaw is that there is that one line of investigation 2/3 of the way through where you think ‘why aren’t these clever sleuths following that?’ - but it is forgivable and not enough to detract from a five star review. As for Leslie Manville’s performance : Wow. At one point I was honestly confused as to whether there was a three person voice cast.
