About this deal

She receives help with her endeavor from her new friend Suzie and together they form the Marlowe Murder club. Eventually, as the case garners national attention she relents and takes in the trio as “civilian advisers” to help in the case. When she hears his murder, whilst she is out swimming in the Thames, the police don’t straightaway believe her, so she decides to investigate the alleged crime herself and finds his body.

In the course of her sleuthing, she is joined by Rebecca “Becks” Starling, the dutiful, prim and proper wife of the local Vicar and mother of two and straight-shooting dog walker Suzie Harris. The Marlow Murder Clubby Robert Thorogood is a fun cozy mystery with an interesting cast of characters, a good dose of humor (some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments) and a satisfying ending. The Marlow Murder Club" is the second book I've read in the past few months where a group of senior citizens go and solve a murder.

Teaming up with Becks, the vicar’s prim and proper wife, and Suzie, the neighborhood dogwalker, the unlikely trio are on the case. These three may not look like much of a threat, but criminals beware: there’s more to these ladies than meets the eye!

Soon after leaving Cambridge, Robert set up a theatre company that toured small theatres and schools, the highlight of which was a production of Molière's The Miser that he directed and acted in alongside Robert Webb, David Mitchell and Olivia Colman. With a cop named Tanika who reluctantly asks the women to assist in the case, can these ladies solve it before one of them dies? All three were TENACIOUS, CREATIVE and BRAVE-and as their friendship grew, their personal confidence and self worth grew too-a lovely thing to witness.

Soon, the Marlow Murder Club comes into existence, once Judith recruits Suzie, a dog walker, and Becks, the wife of the local vicar (I couldn't help a real laugh when she saw herself on video). year old Judith is living her best life in an inherited mansion, has a job she loves, and drinks like a fish. This review and others are also published on Twitter, Instagram, and my webpage https://sandysbookaday.

One of the prevalent themes running through the book is Judith's role as a crossword setter for The Times. When she reports what she witnessed to the police, they do nothing until Judy investigates and finds the body.

The three women eagerly pursue clues, interview suspects, examine alibis, and realize they have a highly complex puzzle to solve. They had some pretty funny interactions and there were several laugh out loud moments throughout the story. Once they all started working together I came to think of Judith, Suzie and Becks as Tanika's Angels! I enjoyed the growing friendship between the group's three women, and their dialogue and changes in attitude were amusing.

She hung her cape on an old hook, and, still hidden from the outside world by a pair of ancient boathouse doors, stepped down the stone slipway and into the Thames. Overall, The Marlow Murder Club is a very enjoyable read and one that will suit fans of detective stories such as those written by Agatha Christie, and if you like watching Death in Paradise then you will enjoy reading this as it is a written in a similar way. This was written by the guy who brought the world Death In Paradise which I have enjoyed so I'm not surprised I enjoyed this.The police consisted of one, out of her depths, detective, who LITERALLY hands the files for the murders over to this threesome of women. I do appreciate that the author featured an older protagonist, which is a refreshing change of pace. In that moment is made clear that she's not a frail old lady and that nothing will stop her till she finds the truth.
