About the Books:. The set opens with The Marlow Murder Club, in which seventy-seven-year-old Judith Potts hears a gunshot while swimming in the Thames one evening. Convinced a murder has taken place, and dismissed by the police, she teams up with dog-walker Suzie Harris and vicar's wife Becks Starling to investigate — only to discover a serial killer is at large. In Death Comes to Marlow, the trio attend a pre-wedding celebration when the groom-to-be is found dead in his locked study; the police call it an accident, but the women suspect otherwise. Finally, The Queen of Poisons sees Marlow's mayor collapse and die during a council meeting, with deadly aconite found in his coffee, and the trio brought in as civilian advisors to catch a killer hiding in plain sight. Across all three books, Thorogood combines fair-play whodunit plotting with warm characterisation, exploring friendship, ageing and community beneath Marlow's genteel surface. The series has since been adapted into a hit television drama. Each novel stands alone but rewards reading in order, as the friendship between the three women deepens book by book.. Key Benefits:.
