Why listen to We Solve Murders?

The casting is the headline here: Nicola Walker narrates the first volume, and comic crime depends utterly on timing, which is precisely her gift. Wry asides, deadpan exchanges and the warmth underneath all need a performer who can land a line without leaning on it, and early listeners rating it 4.5 suggest she does.Start with this volume; it is the first, so no homework is required. Over ten and a half hours it offers the rare combination of a plot worth following and company worth keeping, which makes it ideal for listeners who found straight thrillers too grim and cosy mysteries too soft. If you like your murders investigated with a raised eyebrow, this series opener was built for you.

Clara’s verdict

Clara Whitmore

4.0/5

I confess a weakness for crime that makes me smile, so I approached the numbers carefully. Thirty five ratings is a small sample, and I flag that openly, but a 4.5 average paired with a narrator of Nicola Walker’s calibre gives the score real credibility. My verdict is a firm four: genuinely promising, hugely listenable, and one I expect to hold its rating as the audience grows.
