Sumár recenzie
Richard Osman prináša prvú časť novej série, Riešime vraždy, ktorú slovensky vydalo vydavateľstvo Slovart a ktorá zaujme aj prepracovanou obálkou. V centre deja je osobná strážkyňa Amy Wheelerová, ktorá chráni excentrickú spisovateľku Rosie D'Antoniovú; po útoku na súkromnom ostrove spolu utekajú na pevninu, aby preskúmali vraždu influencera Andrew Fairbanksa a zároveň čelia pokusu o atentát ruského miliardára. Kniha ponúka dynamický dej s krátkymi kapitolami, množstvom dialógov, typickým britským humorom a akčnými, často absurdnými situáciami; recenzentka vyzdvihuje aj vzťah Amy so svokrom Stevom a dobré spracovanie témy influencerov. Je to zábavný detektívny román vhodný na odľahčené čítanie, hoci väčšie množstvo postáv môže čitateľa občas miasť.
