Amy Wheeler is a high-priced bodyguard for some pretty notable clients, as well as anyone who has the funds to secure her services. (For example, right now she's guarding bestselling author Rosie D'Antonio, who has a hit on her after writing a real Russian drug kingpin into her latest novel, and making him look bad in it.) However, when a few social media influencers that she recently guarded wind up dead not long after, Amy's convinced that one of her shadier past clients has designs on Amy's death. With the help of her retired police officer father-in-law, Steve, and Rosie's private jet and connections, Amy's on a world-wide search to track down the mysterious man who wants her dead.
The first non-Thursday Murder Club book by Osman, this one has many of the same hallmarks — goofy older characters, smart younger ones, and a quirky sense of humor — but with a more adrenaline-filled plot. I enjoyed the story immensely, and I was glad to read in the afterword that Osman has more stories of Amy, Steve, and Rosie planned for the future. This will definitely be a hit with Thursday Murder Club fans and those who enjoyed Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn.
*This book will be published Sept. 17, 2024.
