The Marlow Murder Club is on the hunt for a killer... Geoffrey Lushington, Mayor of Marlow, dies suddenly during a town council meeting. When traces of aconite--also known as the queen of poisons--are found in his coffee cup, the police realize he was murdered. But who did it? And why? The police bring Judith, Suzie, and Becks in to investigate the murder as civilian advisors right from the start, so they have free rein to interview suspects and follow the evidence to their heart's content... which is perfect because Judith has no time for rules and standard procedure. But this case has the Marlow Murder Club stumped. Who would want to kill the affable mayor of Marlow? How did they even get the poison into his coffee? And is anyone else in danger? The Marlow Murder Club is about to face their most difficult case yet...

"Brilliant! It is the third book in the series marlow murder club by Robert Thorogood! The author keeps the intrigue level high. This book didn't disappoint 👏 the plot was twisting, and the subplot was infuriating. I hope the ending with Judith would be different, but it just shows another side of her. I highly recommend it! Can't wait to see the series. It is not available in canada yet 😢
Shout out to the narrator of this audio book as well, I listened to half of it audio and she brings out Judith to life!!!!

"Very clever, kept me guessing until the very end! Ideal if you love the tone of Agatha Christie, but want something set in modern day. Give it a read or listen, you'll have a new favourite!"

"I love these Marlow books. I can’t wait for more. The mysteries always seem convoluted to me but i absolutely love the 4 main characters. I really want to be friends with all 4 of these ladies."
