Richard Osman Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Carbonara e una Coca Cola – diese Seria ist eine Hit! In den Hügeln der Toskana wird bei Sonnenaufgang eine Leiche auf den Stufen einer Villa gefunden. Steve Wheeler, pensionierter Polizist, seine Schwiegertochter Amy, Bodyguard, und Rosie d'Antonio, eine alterslose und megaerfolgreiche Thrillerautorin, jagen den skruperllosen Mörder. Von Italien über Barcelona über Steves Stammpub in seinem kleinen englischen Dorf bis nach Palm Springs: In Wir jagen Schatten reist unser Ermittlertrio einmal rund um den Globus zu den Hotspots dieser Welt und deckt einen unmöglichen Fall auf, in dem, wie es scheint, jeder etwas zu verbergen hat . . .

Štvrtkový klub detektívov prežíva pokojný rok. Joyce plánuje zasadací poriadok na svadbu svojej dcéry Joanny, Elizabeth žiali za Stephenom, Ron rieši rodinné problémy a Ibrahim sa venuje terapii svojej obľúbenej drogovej dílerky. Keď sa však Elizabeth stretne so svadobným hosťom, ktorý sa ocitol v kaši, naša známa partia sa zrazu musí vyriešiť prípad únosu a smrti. Nejaký podliak sa usiluje získať tajné kódy k niečomu, čo je uložené v trezore, a nezastaví sa pred ničím.

Wer anderer Leute Leben schützt, ist selbst schnell tot. Amy Wheeler ist es als Bodyguard gewohnt, ihr Leben zu riskieren. Aber dass sie selbst ins Visier gerät, ist auch für Amy neu. Zumal sie nicht weiß, warum da plötzlich jemand wie verrückt auf sie schießt, während sie in South Carolina auf eine unfassbar reiche und erfolgreiche Thrillerautorin aufpasst. Ob es mit den Morden an Influencern zusammenhängt, die allesamt von ihrer Agentur betreut wurden? Zu Hause in England genießt ihr Schwiegervater, der Ex-Kriminalkommissar Steve Wheeler, derweil die Freuden der Pensionierung: ein Pub, ein Pint, ein Quiz – und die Ruhe des Waldes. Mit der jedoch ist’s vorbei, als seine Schwiegertochter anruft und ihn zu sich zitiert. Um mit ihm die Morde aufzuklären. Und so die Hintermänner zu finden, die ihr nach dem Leben trachten. Die neue Serie des Bestseller-Autors von Der Donnerstagsmordclub.

Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron e Ibrahim – Il Club dei delitti del giovedì – sono ancora scossi dal loro primo caso risolto e non vedono l’ora di godersi un po’ di pace e tranquillità nell’elegante residence per pensionati dove vivono. Ma l’imprevisto incombe... Elizabeth riceve la lettera di un ex collega dei Servizi Segreti che ha commesso un grosso errore e ha bisogno del suo aiuto. È stato accusato di aver rubato diamanti per milioni di sterline agli uomini sbagliati e per questo motivo è in fuga da un mafioso violento e vendicativo. Mentre i cadaveri iniziano ad accumularsi, Elizabeth arruola gli amici di sempre del Club per dare caccia a uno spietato assassino. Questa volta si scontrano con un nemico che non farebbe una piega nel mettere fuori combattimento quattro anziani... Riusciranno i vecchi amici a risolvere l’enigma prima di diventare a loro volta vittime? E se trovassero anche i diamanti? Be’, non sarebbero un bonus gradito? Con la seconda indagine del Club dei delitti del giovedì, Osman si conferma un autore ricco di inventiva e dalla penna godibile e divertente, con uno stile irriverente e politicamente scorretto.
