Death Comes to Marlow: The most charming and gripping cosy crime mystery novel full of twists and turns for 2023 (The Marlow Murder Club Mysteries, Book 2)

Product Information

After the argument breaks up and both Sir Peter and Jenny head into the house, Judith, Suzie and Becks speak to Tristram and attempt to uncover the reasoning behind Sir Peter’s desire for Judith to attend the party. Rather than focusing on the undeniably gritty nature of murder, Thorogood centres the story on the characters’ reactions and motivations, including the Marlow Murder Club’s collective fascination with crime and the solving thereof. He has that nothing-to-lose attitude, given that his career is swirling down the toilet bowl anyway.

This is the second book in the series, and I enjoyed revisiting Judith and her friends Suzie and Becks as they solve yet another murder. But the hints of other crimes Tempe’s identification uncovers, particularly crimes against children, spur her on to redouble her efforts despite the new M. It’s all going, well, swimmingly until she has an unfortunate encounter with a swan and has to decide whether to tackle the beast or give up on her dip.The ways the trio challenge and complement one another are not only highlights of the book but also the things that help them successfully solve the mystery. It’s time for another round with the brainiest trio of amateur sleuths on either side of the Atlantic.

There are several people who have reason to wish Sir Peter dead, but none of them seems to have had the opportunity to do the deed, which means Judith and Co have to bring all their bonkers interview techniques and leaps of logic to play to uncover the truth.To access your ebook(s) after purchasing, you can download the free Glose app or read instantly on your browser by logging into Glose.

The study door is locked; the only key is in Sir Peter’s pocket; and every plausible suspect, from Sir Peter’s intended to his two children to Chris Shepherd, the White Lodge gardener who has every reason to hold a grudge against his employer, has a solid alibi. But there is little time for investigative pursuits before the peace is shattered once more, this time by an almighty crash and the sound of glass smashing from inside the house. The crossword and the classic murder mystery are two types of puzzle that exploded in popularity following World War I.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Harry Vance slips out of his lover’s bed for a mysterious nighttime meeting. Putting aside all thoughts of crossword puzzles, Judith ropes her best friend Suzie Harris, a part-time dogwalker and local radio celeb, into attending the party with her. With quiet help from a police sergeant and their own wits, the women start parsing clues to home in on the killer. When the Marlow Murder Club and assorted partygoers follow Tristram inside, they’re unable to find Sir Peter, although his study is suspiciously locked.
