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 …

I love being with Judith, Becks and Suzie! Nothing too dark. My 9-year old loves these books as much as I do.

A laugh-out-loud murder mystery - great for family car journeys!

True to the spirit of the original book, there are fun, loveable characters, albeit with less focus on chaacter development, and lots of guessing games. There is a bit of cheat though, preventing readers to guess correctly.

Fun like always

… love the fact this could be classified as a little bit old fashioned and yet it is so thoroughly modern too. Even tempted to try another cryptic crossword but I suspect Pepper and her equivalents will always outsmart me. :)

Love these characters…
