Death Comes to Marlow

Marlow Murder Club, Book 2

By: Robert Thorogood

Narrated by: Nicolette McKenzie

Judith, Suzie and Becks return in the brilliant second crime novel in the Marlow Murder Club series, from the creator of the hit TV series, Death in Paradise.

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. The most exciting thing on the horizon is the upcoming wedding of Marlow grandee, Sir Peter Bailey, to his nurse, Jenny Page. Sir Peter is having a party at his grand mansion on the river Thames the day before the wedding, and Judith and Co. are looking forward to a bit of free champagne.

But during the soiree, there’s a crash from inside the house, and when the Marlow Murder Club rush to investigate, they are shocked to find the groom-to-be crushed to death in his study.

The study was locked from the inside, so the police don’t consider the death suspicious. But Judith disagrees. As far as she's concerned, Peter was murdered! And it’s up to the Marlow Murder Club to find the killer before he or she strikes again...

Amazing Twist!!

Absolutely loved this story. With so many clues and suspects, almost anyone could have done it!!!!

The incredible multi-characterization ability of the narrator!!

I didn't dislike anything. The story was cleverly woven through the lives of all the characters, and who couldn't love Judith?!

Delightful

I love Judith and her friends so much! The narrator does a fantastic job bringing everyone to life and the whole story from start to finish is a delightful puzzle you get to work out alongside Judith, Susie and Becks. I’m happy to visit Marlow anytime.

Outstanding.

Narration makes the book! Loved it! Such a great sequel and keeps the characters alive. So many laughs, gasps and surprises. So well written.

Entertaining

I enjoyed the story however the ending was a bit too complicated to follow and required several rewinds to ensure I understood all the details. Once I had, I was disappointed as the complexity made it too far fetched to believe. Overall an entertaining listen.
