This book has a whole cast of impossible heroes: the main one being Judith Potts, a seventy-seven year old woman who lives on her own in a mansion, drinking whiskey and setting crosswords for\u00a0<em>The Times<\/em> newspaper. She recruits a mismatched group of women to help her solve a mystery.<\/p>\n<p>One evening, Judith is out swimming in the Thames when she witnesses a murder. Well, she hears yelling and a gunshot. Desperate for answers, Judith talks to the police. They don&#8217;t believe her story however, so she decides to investigate for herself. In the midst of her digging, Judith recruits Suzie, a local dog walker, and Becks, the prim and proper wife of the local Vicar. The three women form the Marlow Murder Club. Unsure of what their sleuthing will bring about, they are shocked when another person dies. Thinking that there may be a serial killer running around Marlow, they realize that this puzzle they are trying to solve may instead be a trap with deadly implications for the Marlow Murder Club.<\/p>\n<p>This book is also available in the following format:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.7&amp;pos=1&amp;cn=1451553\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OverDrive eBook<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Marlow Murder Club series<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.7&amp;pos=1&amp;cn=1427728\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Marlow Murder Club<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(2021)<\/li>\n<li><em>Death Comes to Marlow<\/em> (2023)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cShe couldn\u2019t help noticing everything about her existence seemed to be defined by someone who wasn\u2019t her.\u201d \u2015 Robert Thorogood, The Marlow Murder Club The Marlow Murder Club is the first book in the series of the same name by Robert Thorogood.
