Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your sleuths to be professional detectives solving cases through procedure.
You're after high-stakes action and intensity rather than wit and charm.

About this book

Judith is a seventy-seven-year-old whiskey drinker and crossword puzzle author living in a dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of Marlow. When she hears her neighbor shot while skinny-dipping in the Thames, the local police dismiss her account. Convinced something is wrong, Judith investigates and recruits two companions: Suzie the dogwalker and Becks the vicar's wife. Together they form the Marlow Murder Club. When a second body appears, the group realizes they are dealing with a serial killer. What began as a puzzle to solve becomes increasingly dangerous, trapping them in a mystery from which escape may be impossible. Robert Thorogood, creator of BBC One's Death in Paradise, inverts the traditional Christie-style mystery in this cozy novel. The book was nominated for the 2023 Edgar Award and the Lilian Jackson Braun Award.
