This series is still entertaining, either way a creative mystery and well executed whodunnit. It ends on a MAJOR cliffhanger, and now I can’t WAIT to read the next one!

Another fine mystery from this crew. I love older women solving mysteries so this is perfect for me! I enjoy the humor and all the shenanigans!

Another clever mystery in the excellent Marlow Murder Club series! These books are always so much fun. I just love the characters, their friendship and the way they work together to solve murders. This time a seemingly impossible murder takes place on a boat. It seems as though no one could have done it, while at the same time evidence points to all of them. This was a very well-crafted novel, and I was surprised by all the twists and turns. I definitely didn't guess who the murderer was! There is a little bit of a cliffhanger at the end, and I can't wait to see what comes of that plot. You could read this as a standalone, but I highly recommend you read the series from the beginning if you haven't already. Highly recommended and I can't wait for the next one to come out!

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC.

What another absolutely delightful installment of the Marlow series!

Thorogood is a master of deception as he weaves the story of the mysterious death of Oliver, a man known for his theatrics and love of theater. Seemingly killed on a boat with a fixed cast of characters, the reader has to determine who pulled the trigger and why.

Judith returns with her sidekicks as she untangles this wild whodunnit. I love the relationship between these gal pals - it was refreshing to see how they complement each other and ultimately spur each other on to solve the crime while also providing comedic relief.

This story kept me guessing with so many twists that I didn’t see coming. For readers who enjoy a thoughtful, cozy murder mystery with a cast of lovable characters, but also like to be surprised in the end.

A nice cozy read! It was fun to return back to Marlow and delve further into these characters lives. What a cliffhanger ending!

Author Robert Thorogood has penned yet another fun and fabulous page-turner following the clever hijinks of the trio that make up the unofficial Marlow Murder Club. An alarmed Verity Beresford visits semi-recluse Judith Potts when her husband Oliver goes missing. Verity knows of the success that Judith, dogwalker Suzie Harris and vicar’s wife Becks Starling have had in solving murders — the whole town has! Turns out Oliver Beresford, the flamboyant director of the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society (MADS), has been shot twice and left in the Thames River.

The threesome can’t get their usual support from the Maidenhead Police Station’s Tanka Malik, newly promoted to detective inspector, but Judith, aided by Suzie and Becks, manage to figure out who killed Oliver Beresford and why. Murder on the Marlow Belle works as a stand-alone for newbies, but I highly recommend catching up on the previous three suspenseful and humorous novels in the series.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press in exchange for an honest review.

Another winner from Robert Thorogood! I love this series and was happy to read more about the unique crime-solving trio in Marlow. This book had lots of twists and turns and red herrings. The author did a wonderful job bringing both the main characters and other members of the community to life. I enjoyed the unusual murder setting, and I never would have imagined the ending. I highly recommend this book and the series, and I can't wait for the next installment promised at the end of this one.

Another very entertaining Marlow murders book. Twists and turns, red herrings galore and a surprising murderer. A fun read!

The Marlow Murder Club is back and better than ever! When the founder of the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society, Oliver, goes missing, his wife finds Judith to take up the investigation. When Oliver turns up dead, killed on the maiden voyage of the Marlow Belle, Judith, Suzie and Becks are on the case. The suspects are members of the Dramatic Society, along with one very famous Hollywood start who got her start in Marlow, thanks to Oliver.

Drawn to the Society members and looking for answers, Judith decides that in order to get closer to the killer, she must join the Dramatic Society as a member of the play, The Importance of Being Earnest.

While everyone seems to have a motive to want Oliver dead, the Marlow Murder Club must rely on each other and their vast talents and community resources to solve the crime baffling the police. This is another excellent addition to the wonderful series from Robert Thorogood!

What another great addition to this series. So so many red herrings. A closed room mystery set on a boat in a delightful location. Red herrings abound and the perpetrators all have a reason to murder. A most enjoyable read!

This is another delightful mystery in the Marlow series. I have enjoyed following along as Judith, Susie, and Becks’s friendships have deepened; the books are as much about solving a murder as they are about the importance of community and interpersonal connections. The murder at the heart of this book is also a good mystery—I didn’t want to put it down until I found out what happened. Definitely recommend!

I liked this book. I really like this author. Realistic characters become familiar. This talented author has written a page turner. Curl up n a comfy chair and become lost in this novel. Thanks Netgalley
