We Solve Murders is the first novel in a new mystery series, introducing the dynamic detective duo Steve and Amy Wheeler. What inspired you to write We Solve Murders?
I was in a bookshop looking for something that's a high stakes international thriller, but that also tells some truths about the world we live in now, and makes you laugh in the way that The Thursday Murder Club does. I couldn't quite find one, so I thought I should write one myself. A sort of Thursday Murder Club meets The DaVinci Code, written by Lee Child. It changed a lot from that initial thought, but that's where it all started!
Steve is retired from the police force, and thoroughly enjoying his familiar habits and routines: the pub quiz, his favorite bench, his cat. His daughter-in-law, Amy, thinks adrenaline is good for the soul and works as a private security officer for billionaires, traveling around the globe in search of her next adventure. How did you craft this mismatched duo?
Amy is the sort of person who wants to go everywhere and experience everything. To live every minute of every day, and always be on the move. You know the type! Whereas Steve, very much like me, just wants to stay safely at home and, very happily, do nothing. I think a lot of humor...
