Richard Osman is a TV presenter on the British TV so forgive me for thinking that this book wasn't going to be up for much. It is an absolute bestseller in the UK so I decided to download it and I am so, so glad I did. What a delight and a great read for anybody who is a bit of an anglophile or somebody who wants some insight into a certain class of Brit outside of the big cities. I don't know Richard personally but would imagine that the tone reflects him and his personality quite a bit: beautifully written, at times hilariously funny (tears running down face and belly aching), sometimes so poignant and sad. His sense of observation of little human details and foibles that you can instantly recognize is just priceless. And a smart book to boot, very well constructed with characters that remain so memorable. He has dedicated it to his mum, Brenda - I find that very telling and all the more lovable. Can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Typischer englischer Humor. Der Thriller ist zwar auch traurig, aber nicht so brutal wie viele amerikanische Krimis. Ich hoffe, die Fortsetzung ist ebenso gut!
