I will admit that Osmon's Murder Club book 1 really appealed to me (I would say here,that due to failing eyesight, 'reading' a book for me means listening on Audible.)
I do not live in a retirement village (Beyond my means), but the lovely block of flats I do live in, nearly all people who have retired- is similar and it was good to find a book about people of my sort of age.
Got book 2 on pre-order - enjoyed it, maybe no quite so much, same with book 3. By the time it got to book 4 felt is was just the same story being repeated.
So, when he announced he was writing a completely new book was quite excited. 'We Solver Murders' it is called. Have to say with CJ Sanson's sad death earlier last year, I forgot about this, as I re-read (heard), all of that wonderful series again. So, it was only this week I was looking into my audible library to see what to hear and found this book.
As about half way through and still very little idea as to what it is about. Definitely nothing to do with the world I live in. (Not that I am opposed to a little bit of fantasy - but this is not even that!!!).
Reading reviews I discover that this is probably the authors attempt at appealing to a much younger readership. It is all about, what is known as 'influencers'.
ANyone else reading, has read this. I just cannot get any feeling for any of the characters, even those that the author is obviously preparing to be central to future books. If you ask me what has happened so far in this book, all I know is that lots of characters have been killed, no idea why - not even interested.
Will probably finish hearing it - but not surprised that i saw the book in my local Waterstones, at half price!!!
