This in-person event is currently sold out, but will be livestreamed.


A new Richard Osman book is an event, so the announcement that there would be a brand-new series set millions of readers into a frenzy. And in a worldwide exclusive, he’s choosing to launch that new series at this year’s Edinburgh International Book Festival.  

With the beloved cast of Thursday Murder Club on a brief hiatus ‘to just relax, kick back, and rejuvenate’, Osman takes to the Book Festival stage to introduce us to Amy and Steve Wheeler, the first father and daughter in law detective combo in crime writing history (we think). Hear multimillion selling Osman chatting to crime-writing legend Ian Rankin about killers, cats, and how sometimes, just when you think you know where you’re headed, life has other plans. 


Copies of Richard Osman’s new book We Solve Murders are available to pre-order with your ticket (£22.00 RRP - £20.00 when purchased with a ticket). Please note that this book is not released until 12 September. Pre-ordered books will be posted to your mailing address by our retail partner Waterstones when the book is released in September. Unfortunately, we are not able to post books to addresses outside the UK.

There will be a signing with Richard Osman after the event where special edition book plates will be available to insert into a copy of We Solve Murders. Up to one additional book can also be signed at this event.

Please note this event takes place at McEwan Hall, Teviot Pl, Edinburgh EH8 9AG. The Front List is presented in partnership with Underbelly.
