From Donna: I love a humorous murder mystery with an older amateur detective, and in this book that’s 78-year-old Judith Potts, a crossword puzzle author. Don’t be concerned that this is book two in the Marlow Murder Club series, you can easily jump in here if you haven’t read the first one. The police suspect suicide when a man is found crushed to death in a locked study during his pre-wedding party, but Judith and her friends Susie and Becks are immediately suspicious of the other guests. If you’re a fan of The Thursday Murder Club series or Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple books, I think you’ll have a lot of fun with this one!

From the publisher: "Meet Judith: a seventy-seven-year-old whiskey drinking, crossword puzzle author living her best life in a dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of Marlow. Nothing ever happens in Marlow. That is, until Judith hears her neighbor shot while skinny-dipping in the Thames. The local police don't believe her story. It's an open and shut case, of course. Ha! Stefan can't be left for dead like that. Judith investigates and picks up a crew of sidekicks: Suzie the dogwalker and Becks the vicar's wife. Together, they are the Marlow Murder Club. When another body turns up, they realize they have a real-life serial killer on their hands. And the puzzle they set out to solve has become a trap from which they might never escape." The second in the series, Death Comes to Marlow, is also on sale right now.
