Description

The first in a stunning new series introducing the Marlow Murder Club!

A hugely enjoyable murder mystery written with wonderful verve, humour and compassion. Utterly delightful Robert Webb

Agatha Christie with a modern twist SUN

From the creator of the BBC One hit TV series, Death in Paradise
To solve an impossible murder, you need an impossible hero

Seventy-seven-year-old Judith Potts is blissfully happy. She lives alone in a faded mansion in Marlow, sets crosswords for The Times, and theres no man in her life to tell her what to do or how much whisky to drink.

One evening, while out swimming in the Thames, Judith witnesses a brutal murder. When the local police dont believe her story, Judith and two unlikely friends decide to investigate for themselves. Together, they are the Marlow Murder Club.

But soon another body turns up, and it seems they have a real-life serial killer on their hands. Now the puzzle they set out to solve has become a trap from which they might never escape
