About this deal

I'm terrible when it comes to crosswords and as Judith cites this famous example I was none the wiser until she revealed the meaning. SAG-AFTRA’s Duncan Crabtree-Ireland Says Studio Talks Are “Productive” But Cautions, “We’re Not There Yet” As AI Emerges As Latest Focus Funding for MASTERPIECE is provided by Viking and Raymond James, with additional support from public television viewers and contributors to The Masterpiece Trust, created to help ensure the series' future. It's during this nightly routine that Judith Potts hears an altercation from her neighbours house that oddly the police just brush a side as possible suicide.

The series is set to air in 2024 and follows retired archeologist Judith Potts who lives a fairly normal life until she witnesses a murder. The police don't believe her so she takes matters into her own hands.

so funny and such a good murder plot! never read one like it but have heard some real life stories on podcasts that are similar which makes it all more believable Clues have been left on both victims, indicating a third murder is to be expected.

Who killed Stefan Dunwoody? Furthermore, a well-liked cab driver, Iqbal Kassam, and rowing club owner, Liz Curtis, have each been killed in the same manner, and all three were left with similar engraved gold medallions attached to their bodies. Judith has her ideas about who’s guilty, and for her these crimes are just one more puzzle to solve. After all, as someone who creates crossword puzzles for a living, she’s spent a lifetime working with clues. The book started out a just a bit slow, but by the mid-point, I was as vested as the women were in solving the case. Judith is what I call a tough nut with a lovely personality a super sleuth to the bitter end she won’t give up until she gets her man 👨. MY THOUGHTS: Judith is a character! How could anyone not love her? She is opinionated, brusque, and bossy.Masterpiece On PBS Reveals Premiere Dates For 'All Creatures Great And Small,''Miss Scarlet And The Duke' Thank you so much to the publisher, Poisoned Pen Press, for providing me with a copy to read and review.

Judith is a 77-year old…a septuagenarian (please don’t ever ask me to pronounce that) who likes to relax in the evening by drinking scotch and swimming naked in the Thames River. On top of that, she also creates crossword puzzles for the newspaper. On top of THAT, it turns out she also may be good at solving crimes.A hugely enjoyable murder mystery written with wonderful verve, humour and compassion. Utterly delightful’ Robert Webb Thorogood is the creator of hugely successful BBC drama Death in Paradise, which airs in the U.S. on PBS and has run for 12 seasons. He is penning the screenplay for The Marlow Murder Club, with Steve Barron directing. What? Shouldn't there be a twist? Somewhere? And no, the fact that there were 3 of them was not a twist. That was just dumb. Judith realises the garden lady is Liz Curtis, the woman who runs the Marlow Rowing Centre. Suzie says Liz has killed before.

She swam upstream, the evening sunshine flashing diamonds on the water all around. Judith smiled to herself. She always smiled to herself when she was out swimming. She couldn't help it.

The police arrive and Andy, Elliot, and Danny are all arrested.
