Who killed the Mayor? It’s up to the Marlow Murder Club to find out . . .

Geoffrey Lushington, Mayor of Marlow, dies suddenly during a Town Council meeting. When traces of aconite – also known as the queen of poisons – are found in his coffee cup, the police realise he was murdered. But who did it? And why?

The police bring Judith, Suzie and Becks in to investigate as Civilian Advisors right from the start, so they have free rein to interview suspects and follow the evidence to their heart’s content, which is perfect because Judith has no time for rules and standard procedure. But this case has the Marlow Murder Club stumped. Who would want to kill the affable Mayor? How did they even get the poison into his coffee? And is anyone else in danger? The Marlow Murder Club are about to face their most difficult case yet . . .

Three cheers for older women sleuths

A fabulous story featuring a trio of feisty older ladies bent on solving a local crime. The characters of the three, Isobel, Becks & Susie were well drawn, complimented each other & showed the reader that older women should not be dismissed. Their age & experience in varied walk of life combine to make a force to be reckoned with not only by the criminals but also by the police.
A well crafted , believable plot that encourages the reader to press on with the story, the dénouement was a work of art where all the twists & turns of the plot came together, all doubts & questions were resolved . Looking forward to the next outing of the Marlow Murder Club.
