Summary

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....

Fantastic!

Loved the first book and the second did not disappoint. The characters are believable and completely loveable. I hope that this series continues. Narration was also superb.

‘Couldn’t put it down’

Really enjoyed it. Listened to it three times in the end. Lots of subtlety, can’t wait for the next one. I’m not much of a reader but I’m definitely a listener.

Another good story

I liked this second chapter in the lives of the 3 amateur sleuths. I like the fact things don't always go their way and the actual more likely interactions they have with the main police officer. I'll look forward to the next volume.
