Product Information

The women of the Marlow Murder Club are back in business in Death Comes to Marlow, the delightful second installment of Robert Thorogood’s cozy mystery series. S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Harry Vance slips out of his lover’s bed for a mysterious nighttime meeting.

Robert Thorogood is the creator of the hit BBC One TV series Death in Paradise, and he has written a series of spin-off novels featuring DI Richard Poole. The women — and the supportive Detective Sergeant Tanilka Malik — strongly suspect murder, but how could Sir Peter have been killed in his locked study, with the only key, an ancient, uncopiable model, still his pocket. Judith figures that Danny has wanted Liz dead for ages because she didn’t want to sell her family’s land, which is worth millions.The partners deliver a few punchlines of their own in this fast-moving story that’s replete with twists and danger. Biography: Robert Thorogood is the creator of the hit BBC One TV series Death in Paradise, and he has written a series of spin-off novels featuring DI Richard Poole. But, like nearly everyone raised in the UK, she knew that a swan ‘can break your arm’, and she also guessed there’d be something unedifying about a completely naked 78-year-old woman wrestling with a swan.

As anodyne as a village fair and as fiendishly clever as one of the many crossword clues embedded in the story.Becks, the vicar’s rule-following wife, and Suzie, a free-spirited dog walker turned local radio personality, may be unlikely companions for Judith, but their friendships are rooted in respect. Death Comes to Marlow is almost a caricature of a classic cosy, English mystery by Robert Thorogood, creator of the Death in Paradise TV show.

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. It's been an enjoyable and murder-free time for Judith, Suzie and Becks - AKA the Marlow Murder Club - since the events of last year. This site has an archive of more than one thousand seven hundred interviews, or eight thousand book recommendations. Not only do they have to convince the police that a murder was actually committed, they also have to prove how it could possibly have been accomplished. We ask experts to recommend the five best books in their subject and explain their selection in an interview.

Upon breaking down the study door, the group is shocked to discover that Sir Peter is dead, seemingly crushed by a large mahogany cabinet that has fallen away from the wall. I have loved these ladies from the beginning (especially Becks, our intrepid vicar's wife with hidden depths), and it was such a delight to reunite with them for their next big case.
