The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood
4.0
The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood is a fantastic read. Judith Potts is a crossword extraordinaire and a Marlow resident. One night while swimming in the Thames, Judith hears gunshots. Convinced that her neighbour was murdered, she decides to take matters into her own hands by developing her squad (the Vicar's wife and a dog walker) after her words have fallen on deaf ears. As they decipher this mystery, long-buried secrets rise to the surface. Has this trio bitten off more they can chew as they end up on the killer's hit list?
Robert Thorogood delivers not only an excellent and intriguing plot but also presents relatable and flawed characters. The evolution of character development and growth while managing the element of mystery was exceptional. The ending was effective, with so many words left unsaid but enough for the reader to connect the dots. Having a soft corner for the British sense of humour, this book envelops fun, entertainment and humanising moments.
If you're a fan of mysteries, do not skip this one. A big thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an ARC. This honest review is left voluntarily.
