NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES

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 realize 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 …

Really liked the mystery in this one. Will need more time to see if I’ll like it more than book 2s. I found the side characters - the suspects and the victims in this one quite interesting, and sort of wished we got even more of that. Overall this instalment felt a bit shorter compared to the previous 2 and I think one of our main 3 characters didn’t really get their own plot line.

Fun sequel, interesting mystery

I really like this series. But this third book didn’t feel nearly as fun compared to the other two. It was still enjoyable, but not as much as the other two. The murder mystery was clever and it is very clear Thorogood but in a lot of thought into subtle details and clues. However, the backdrop of the stories of Judith, Suzie and Becks felt boring and dull. Also solving the murder seemed too convenient. Something isn’t quite the same, and I don’t know what..

A bit of a letdown :/

I am quite a big fan now that I’m quite invested in this series. I am a big fan of “Death in Paradise” tv UK series. Imagine my surprise that the producer came out with a cozy mystery book.

It was worth a listen especially for the sale price. Reminiscent of the Thursday Night Murder Club series.

Good attention to detail

Super

This book was an intricate, thought-provoking who-done-it. But the extraordinary charm coming from our sleuths was due to their individual definitions and discoveries of personal happiness was the real star of the book for me.

Wonderful in many ways
