There are sweet romantic subplots but this is ultimately a paean to the power of friendship. Cryptocurrency and Instagram provide crucial plot points. Osman is an astute chronicler of loss, loneliness and the idiosyncrasies of the elderly-but combines such home-spun wisdom with modern touches. New arrivals include an Alan Partridge-alike TV presenter, a rock ’n’ roll make-up artist and scene-stealer Joyce’s new dog. Supporting characters from the first two books return, fleshing out Osman’s richly realised fictional world. Somehow in the midst of all this intrigue, they’re also investigating the unsolved murder of a local reporter-except their prime suspects keep dying in dodgy circumstances. Our unlikely sleuths are soon caught up in a tangled web of spies, smugglers, blackmailers and money launderers. A powerful gangster wants his diamonds back and is prepared to kill to get them. A drug baron is plotting deadly vengeance. The crime-cracking residents of Cooper’s Chase retirement village are back-and third time around, the stakes are even higher for Richard Osman’s ageing amateur detectives.
