We Chase Shadows
We Chase Shadows, Richard Osman's second case for the We Solve Murders trio, is a comic mystery that takes Amy, Steve, and Rosie from an Italian hillside murder scene to Palm Springs and back, chasing a killer who leaves calling cards instead of covering tracks. Fans of banter-driven crime fiction with real stakes will find plenty to like.
From the review
Someone leaves a note on the body at the top of the villa steps in the Italian hills, signed, all but daring whoever finds it to come looking. That's the opening move of We Chase Shadows, and it's a good one. Not a killer hiding, but one performing confidence. The rest of the book tests whether that confidence holds. Back are Amy, Steve, and Rosie, the We Solve Murders trio, now running an actual agency instead of talking their way into cases. This is their first proper job as a team, which puts a different pressure on the group than the first book did. Steve, a retired copper, works instinct and patience. Amy, a personal protection specialist, works nerve. Rosie, a bestselling novelist bankrolling the whole operation, works chaos and a checkbook. Their client wants the note's author identified, fast, and wants the police kept well away from it. Naturally, the agency takes the job anyway.
