The Marlow Murder Club: The first novel in a gripping new cosy crime and mystery series from the creator of the hit TV series Death in Paradise (The Marlow Murder Club Mysteries, Book 1)

Product Information

That brilliant captures the whole tone of this mystery, I was delightful suprised with the solution.

I highly recommend this book to readers who have enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman and Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn. This was my favorite book of the three! Emma Ayech, channel director for Drama, added: “It’s an incredibly exciting time for Drama, as we start commissioning UKTV Originals for the channel. Whether you’re a fan of the book or new to the adventures of the wonderful Judith Potts, our viewers are in for a real treat.”

Goodreads Summary:

The setting of Marlow and the surrounding area was perfection. The mystery isn't original, but this is more about the characters/personalities and how they set out to solve the crimes. My major complaint is the way the motive is explained point by point in excruciating detail! I prefer to be surprised and discover the solution. Thorogood is also the creator of the hit TV show Death in Paradise, a syndicated series carried by many PBS stations in the US. After the comedic crime drama’s success on the small screen, Thorogood wrote a series of four books with the same Caribbean setting and characters.

Cozy mystery fans - a new series here! Three amateur sleuths (all women in this case) get together to socialize, have a bit of whiskey and solve a local murder mystery (or two)! It isn’t long before there is another murder – performed the same way and with a certain “tell” left behind. Then, a third murder – incredibly unheard of in the small, sleepy town of Marlow.And even though he is standing in her living room pointing a gun at her he keeps acting confused and denying that he and the other 2 guys were part of a murder plot. year old Judith is living her best life in an inherited mansion, has a job she loves, and drinks like a fish. In fact, the opening sequence where she takes her evening skinny dip (also how she hears the murder taking place) was awesome. Even if the denouement is a bit contrived and OTT, the book is a hoot, and I can’t wait to read the sequel…which will be out towards the end of the year. Seventy-seven-years-old Judith Potts certainly enjoys her daily dose of whiskey, skinny-dipping in the Thames, and creating crossword puzzles for The Times newspaper. She's up for a new challenge though, and she's taking it on with everything she's got!
