Description

I recently came across The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood (the creator of the BBC drama Death in Paradise), that features a trio of very unlikely amateur sleuths trying to solve a series of murders in the sleepy town of Marlow and it was a very enjoyable whodunnit. In fact, the opening sequence where she takes her evening skinny dip (also how she hears the murder taking place) was awesome.

The drama in the personal lives of the main characters felt a little out of place in some parts of the narrative and that is where the pace faltered a bit but not so much that you’d lose interest. 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). It was a very character driven story and it is lovely to see older people, particularly women, kicking ass! Nicolette McKenzie, the audiobook narrator did an outstanding job giving each of the characters a distinctive voice.

The police don't have a chance against this lot, who continue to poke their collective nose into the police investigation. I enjoyed the growing friendship between the group's three women, and their dialogue and changes in attitude were amusing. 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. These three may not look like much of a threat, but criminals beware: there’s more to these ladies than meets the eye! The police are baffled but the ladies are able to find some initial clues (this is so typical of cozy mysteries), and after the police hit a wall in their investigation the ladies are officially brought into the case.

The lawyer they think is mixed up in everything is a sexist scuzzball that harasses Becks when she goes to his office. She's not big on keeping her mansion tidy, there might be a bra hanging from something in the living room, but she is happy with her way of life. Robert Thorogood is the creator of the hit BBC One TV series Death in Paradise, and he has written a series of spin-off novels featuring DI Richard Poole.This review and others are also published on Twitter, Instagram, and my webpage https://sandysbookaday. Judith, Becks and Suzie - The Marlow Murder Club, is a force to be reckoned with and loads of fun to be around! These 3 hoots are funny and unafraid when their amateur sleuthing make several connections, but the body count continues to climb. 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. Along the way she teams up with the vicar's wife, Becks Starling, as well as a free-wheeling local dog walker, Suzie Harris.

Reporting it to the police and getting an unsatisfactory follow-up from them, she takes it upon herself to look into things, beginning a series of events that starts with finding his body and follows with two more victims. She's a kick in the pants, on the hunt for a cold-blooded killer, and I'm rooting for her all the way. This was a fun read that gets points for having two elderly protagonists and a 40-something as the amateur sleuths.She didn’t have to listen to one moan about the money she spent, or how much whiskey she was drinking in the evening as she assembled her jigsaw puzzles.
