Perfect for you if...

You love character-driven mysteries where the sleuths are as entertaining as the puzzle itself, especially quirky older women who don't follow procedure.
You enjoyed Agatha Christie but want something with more humour and modern sensibility without losing the locked-room elegance.
You're drawn to British settings and cosy crime where the setting feels like a character in itself.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced thrillers with high stakes and serial killers; this is leisurely and clever, not breathless.
You want your mysteries solved through forensic rigour rather than intuition and leaps of logic from amateur investigators.
You need books without a series commitment; this is book two and will make more sense if you've met these characters before.

About this book

Judith, a crossword puzzle author known for skinny-dipping and whiskey-sipping, teams up with Becks, a vicar's wife, and Susie, a dogwalker, to solve murders in this second Marlow Murder Club mystery. When Sir Peter Bailey invites notable citizens to his house for a pre-wedding celebration, Judith attends for the free champagne and riverside location. During the party, a crash interrupts the festivities—the groom-to-be has been crushed to death in his locked study. Police conclude it was suicide, but Judith and her amateur detective group believe otherwise and launch their investigation. Robert Thorogood, creator of the BBC One show Death in Paradise, combines classic Christie-style mystery with unconventional detective work. The novel features a locked-room puzzle and country house setting that demands clever logic and unorthodox interview techniques to uncover the truth.
