About this item
The Marlow Murder Club is on the hunt for a killer...
Geoffrey Lushington, the beloved Mayor of Marlow, dies suddenly during a routine town council meeting. When traces of aconite—ominously known as the queen of poisons—are discovered in his coffee cup, the police quickly realize he was murdered. But the crucial questions remain: who committed the heinous act, and why?
The police, recognizing their own limitations, enlist the help of Judith, Suzie, and Becks as civilian advisors from the very beginning. This unconventional trio is given free rein to interview suspects, explore leads, and follow the evidence wherever it takes them—a perfect scenario for Judith, who has little patience for rules and standard procedures.
Yet, despite their combined talents, the case proves to be their most challenging yet. Who would harbor such ill will toward the affable mayor? How did the murderer manage to administer the poison in such a public setting without arousing suspicion? And with the potential presence of such a cunning killer, is anyone else in the town of Marlow in imminent danger?
As the Marlow Murder Club delves deeper into the mystery, they uncover a web of secrets, rivalries, and hidden motives that paint a starkly different picture of the seemingly placid town. With time running out and pressure mounting, Judith, Suzie, and Becks must use every ounce of their ingenuity and determination to unravel the mystery, bring the killer to justice, and ensure the safety of their beloved community.
The Marlow Murder Club is about to face their most difficult case yet, and failure is not an option. ❤️📚❤️
