Overview
Step into the riverside town of Marlow with this four-book paperback collection from Robert Thorogood, creator of the hit BBC series Death in Paradise. At the heart of these cozy mysteries is Judith Potts, a sharp-witted seventy-seven-year-old crossword setter who teams up with dog-walker Suzie and vicar's wife Becks to solve crimes the police can't crack. Across all four novels, Thorogood blends gentle humor with meticulously clued whodunits, delivering fair-play puzzles in the tradition of classic English village mysteries. Perfect for fans of character-driven cozy crime and page-turning plots, this set makes a wonderful gift for any mystery lover's bookshelf.

About the Books
The Marlow Murder Club Mysteries follows three unlikely friends—Judith Potts, Suzie Harris, and Becks Starling—as they turn their corner of the Thames Valley into the unofficial capital of amateur detection. It begins when Judith, swimming alone in the river one evening, hears a gunshot and later discovers her neighbor dead; when the police dismiss her account, she recruits Suzie and Becks, and the trio proves impossible to ignore. Book two, Death Comes to Marlow, sends the club to a lavish pre-wedding party where the groom's father is found crushed in his locked study, a death the police call an accident but the women refuse to accept. In The Queen of Poisons, the trio gains official standing as Civilian Advisors after Marlow's mayor collapses during a council meeting, poisoned with aconite in front of a room full of suspects. The series continues with Murder on the Marlow Belle, taking the action onto the water as a new case tests the friends' growing partnership. Across all four books, Thorogood roots his plotting in classic fair-play detective fiction, giving readers every clue needed to solve the case alongside Judith's crossword-honed logic, Suzie's people sense, and Becks's quiet perceptiveness. The Thames-side setting recurs throughout, giving each mystery a vivid backdrop while never losing sight of the warmth between the three central characters. Fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club will recognize the same affection for older women as capable, funny, and underestimated heroines.
