Reviews with content warning for Gun violence - The Marlow Murder Club

What a fun and spunky cast of characters. Great group of women who don’t feel that society pays much attention to them, uplifting each other, and becoming great friends, while solving murders.

The mystery was well written, most clues I found out as the characters did though I did guess some on my own. The over all plot formed well throughout the story and even though I figured out part of the mystery the murderer was a surprise.

I just finished this book and I think the thing that most annoyed me was that the characters are old-well I know that the main character is a 77-year-old woman and her two friends are also kinda in a similar age group, but I have no idea how how old they really are because there were SO many things to remember. it’s really my fault because it says that on the back and it‘a bit Ya crime/horror. I’ll try to avoid this in the future. I also have to say that I really didn’t like the main characters because they seemed unreasonable and the way they acted in some situations was really weird. I’m sorry but there’s no way a 65 old woman in a small town says “No shit Sherlock” like wth? Also like I said I truly have NO IDEA how old everyone is in this book which makes me a bit mad because I can’t understand the conversations and why they even happened.

also that fucking tree?? Why don’t you just CLIMB IT?? I mean yeah that’s hard but your friend is being shot so you just gotta do it! That scene w her alone & Danny and everything was pretty cool tho

the actual ending was really well made tho!
The thing with Judith in the end wow (I knew it tho)
Btw my book’s completely ruined it’s falling apart by the spine and I just picked it up. What a cheap production!!!
Judith is actually pretty smart tho, i didn’t know a lot of the words in this book 😭🤩🤞🏼

Thank you NetGalley, Libro.fm, and the publisher for an advanced review/listening copy of this book.

This was a very tame murder mystery and I never really felt much tension. I would have liked to see the police process a little more, which felt rushed. I did like that the 3 MCs were older and that they used that to their advantage!

The narrator was wonderful!
