Who killed the Mayor? It’s up to the Marlow Murder Club to find out …

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 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? How did they even get the poison into his coffee? And is anyone else in danger? The Marlow Murder Club are about to face their most difficult case yet …

Fun sequel, interesting mystery

Really liked the mystery in this one. Will need more time to see if I’ll like it more than book 2s. I found the side characters - the suspects and the victims in this one quite interesting, and sort of wished we got even more of that. Overall this instalment felt a bit shorter compared to the previous 2 and I think one of our main 3 characters didn’t really get their own plot line.

Great narrator

This was a fun story and was lighthearted - which was what I needed when listening.

Fabulous

I love these stories, the series is wonderful and the narration is fantastic! Absolutely fabulous!

Fantastic storyline!

Robert Throgood has done it again! He can makes his characters come to life and you literally fall into his story!
