![]() ![]() The Bullet That Missed, the third novel about his endearing gang of amateur sleuths living in a retirement home, is out next month, but in the meantime, Osman, 51, became engaged to Doctor Who star Ingrid Oliver, 45. ![]() Last year’s sequel The Man Who Died Twice didn’t too badly either – it became the sixth bestselling hardback. It also became the third bestselling fiction hardback ever, pipped only by Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and J K Rowling’s Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows. On publication in 2020 it became the only book to have sold more than one million copies in the same year as its release and Steven Spielberg is planning to bring it to the big screen. In 2019 the bespectacled hulk (he’s 6ft 7in) known for hosting BBC’s House of Games and Pointless won a £1.1 million book deal for The Thursday Murder Club, the detective novel he’d secretly been writing in his spare time. If anyone has had a more extraordinary past three years than Richard Osman then I’d love to hear about it. ![]()
