* * * *

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 hired The Marlow Belle, a private pleasure cruiser, for an exclusive party with the MADS committee but no one remembers seeing him disembark. And then 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 a rather complicated chap and he wasn’t short of enemies. Judith, Suzie, and Becks are convinced they’ll crack the case in no time. But things are not as they seem in the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society, and the gang will need to keep their wits about them, otherwise a killer may sail away scot-free …

Oh My Goodness!

I ordered the book pre-sale, so that I'd have it as soon as it came out. Loved the book, and Nicolette McKenzie has read it beautifully, as always. CAN'T BELIEVE the cliff hanger it ends on! Robert Thorogood, I maybe yelled at you out loud when it ended like that! 😂 Can't wait for the next one to find out what happens! Thank you!

women starring

loving all the women who star. since women have been largely invisible in the past, it is refreshing to read them doing what used to be a man's game
thorogood writes women well and I was cheered by where his characters come from, revealed in reader/writer Q&A at the end
impressed by reader and pleased female reader for female protagonists

Modern day Agatha christie

Awesome series. Over the last year i have listened to alot of Agatha Christie's audio books, Poirot and Miss maple being my favorites. Love this series and the TV show based on marlow murder club. The death in paradise series is one I also enjoy. Nice interview at the end of the audio book. Great way to end a great story.

love the characters

No spoilers but I thought the denouement was a bit out of left field.

Far Fetched

Not as good as the first 3 and the scene where the murder is finally solved seemed completely OTT!
