Hello my cozy friends,
Today, I am reviewing Murder on the Marlow Belle the 4th instalment in the 'Marlow Murder Club' series, by Robert Thorogood. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for book 5.
The new cozy crime novel from the bestselling author of The Marlow Murder Club, soon to be a major TV series on PBS Masterpiece
Verity Beresford is worried about her husband. Oliver didn't come home last night, so of course Verity goes straight to Judith Potts, Marlow's resident amateur sleuth, for help. Oliver, founder of the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society, had rented The Marlow Belle, a private pleasure cruiser, to host an exclusive party for the society, but no one remembers seeing him disembark. And when Oliver's body washes up on the Thames with two bullet holes in him, it's time for the Marlow Murder Club to leap into action.
Oliver was, by all accounts, a rather complicated fellow, with a reputation for bullying children during nativity play rehearsals, and he wasn't short of enemies. Judith, Suzie, and Becks are convinced they'll find his killer in no time. But things are not as they seem in the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society, and this case is not so clear-cut after all. The gang will need to keep their wits about them to solve this case… otherwise a killer will walk free.
"Murder on the Marlow Belle" is the fourth instalment in Robert Thorogood's Marlow Murder Club series, and it did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am eagerly anticipating the next instalment.
The story is set in the charming village of Marlow, England, which provides a beautiful backdrop for the mystery. The quirky trio of Judith, Suzie, and Becks is once again at the center of the story, and their interactions are both humorous and engaging.
The plot is cleverly constructed, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers guessing. The drama within the theater troupe adds an extra layer of tension, and Lady Bracknell's appearance is a highlight of the book.
The book leaves readers with intriguing hints about Judith's past, which I'm excited to see explored further in future instalments. Overall, "Murder on the Marlow Belle" is a fun, entertaining read that combines humor, mystery, and theater perfectly.
