Marlow is a charming British town with ~ mostly ~peaceful people. 77 year old Judith Potts is content with her mansion and crossword puzzles, until she hears her neighbor being gunned down in his backyard. 

Judith solicits the help of her new friends- the vicker’s wife, Becks, and the local dog walker, Suzy.

While they seem to be a doomed trio from the started they may be Marlow’s only hope to stop a serial killer that seems to have a misguided call for justice. Except for the fact that it looks like they may have a few secrets of their own that they would like to keep hidden…


Fun! Fun! Fun! I love when I find a new murder mystery series! Immediately started book 2! 🕵🏻‍♀️

As always, I recommend the audiobook! The narrator’s British accent really livens up the story and adds to the entertainment!
