Hij groeide op in Haywards Heath in West Sussex, samen met zijn oudere broer Mat Osman, basgitarist van de rockband Suede. Van 1989 tot 1992 studeerde hij politicologie en sociologie aan Trinity College in Cambridge. Voordat hij debuteerde als romanschrijver bouwde hij een carrière op in de Britse televisie, onder meer als bedenker en jarenlang co-presentator van de BBC One-quiz Pointless en als presentator van Richard Osman's House of Games.\n\nVoor zijn fictiedebuut publiceerde Osman al diverse non-fictietitels rond Pointless, samen met co-presentator Alexander Armstrong. Zijn echte schrijversdebuut volgde op 3 september 2020 met The Thursday Murder Club, in het Nederlands verschenen als De moordclub (op donderdag). Het boek sloeg meteen aan: in de eerste drie dagen werden in het Verenigd Koninkrijk 45.000 hardcovers verkocht, en in maart 2021 stond de teller daar al op meer dan een miljoen exemplaren. Steven Spielberg verwierf bovendien de filmrechten van het boek.\n\nDe Thursday Murder Club-reeks draait om vier bewoners van een luxe seniorencomplex die wekelijks oude moordzaken doornemen — en al snel verstrikt raken in actuele zaken. Osman schrijft cozy mysteries met een herkenbare signatuur: lichte humor, warme personages op leeftijd en plots die ondanks hun gemoedelijke toon strak in elkaar zitten. Na het debuut volgden The Man Who Died Twice (2021, De man die twee keer doodging), The Bullet That Missed (2022, Het schot dat niemand raakte) en The Last Devil To Die (2023, De laatste duivel die sterft). Dat vierde deel bereikte de eerste plaats van de New York Times-bestsellerlijst.\n\nIn september 2024 startte Osman een tweede reeks met We Solve Murders, in het Nederlands uitgebracht als Voor al uw moordzaken (Cargo, 2024). In 2025 verscheen Het onmogelijke fortuin (The Impossible Fortune), het vijfde deel in de Thursday Murder Club-serie. Zijn boeken zijn in tientallen talen vertaald en behoren wereldwijd tot de bestverkochte misdaadromans van het afgelopen decennium.\n\nVoor Nederlandse lezers wordt Osman uitgegeven door Cargo, dat de hele Thursday Murder Club-reeks en de nieuwe We Solve Murders-lijn in vertaling op de markt brengt. Wie nog niet bekend is met zijn werk, kan het beste beginnen bij De moordclub (op donderdag): het zet de toon, introduceert het kwartet en laat zien waarom Osman in korte tijd uitgroeide tot een vaste naam binnen het cozy-mysterygenre.",{"title":29,"description":30,"h1":5,"primary_keyword":31,"secondary_keywords":32,"tagline":38},"Richard Osman — koning van de cozy mystery | volgendboek.nl","Richard Osman boeken: de Thursday Murder Club-reeks en We Solve Murders, in Nederlandse vertaling bij Cargo.

Exercises at the back of each Reader help language learners to practise grammar, vocabulary, and key exam skills. Before, during and after-reading questions test readers’ story comprehension and develop vocabulary. The Thursday Murder Club, a Level 6 Reader, is B1+ in the CEFR framework. The longer text is made up of sentences with up to four clauses, introducing future continuous, reported questions, third conditional, was going to and ellipsis. A small number of illustrations support the text. Meet Richard Osman’s famous group of pensioner-detectives: Elizabeth, Ibrahim, Joyce and Ron. In The Thursday Murder Club, the group must try to connect the murders of two men they know and an extra body discovered in an old grave!
