Death Comes to Marlow is the second book in Robert Thorogood’s Marlow Murder Club Cozy Mystery series.
“The Marlow Murder Club” consists of crossword setter Judith Potts, and her two friends, Suzie the dog sitter and Becks, the vicar’s wife.
This time Marlow’s renowned Sir Peter Bailey calls Judith out of the blue inviting her to a pre-wedding party at his mansion the day before his nuptials to the much younger nurse Jenny Page. He seems a bit nervous Judith notices and when he’s later found dead in his locked study, she has no doubt that he invited her to the party to solve his own murder!
While suspicion falls on everyone from his son, daughter, ex-wife, wife-to-be, gardener, and various others, everyone seems to have a potential motive, but they all have airtight alibis too! Was Sir Peter Bailey’s death an accident or murder? After all, he was the only one with a key to his study, and it was found in his pocket inside the locked room.
Who killed Sir Peter Bailey?
Read just till page 304-305 (mid of chapter 37) (» ‘No, wait,’ Suzie said. ‘You got all that from standing here and looking at the house.’ ‘Not just looking at the house,’ Judith said. ‘Looking at the house at 3 p.m.’ «). And… we will solve the mystery like Judith does. 😉
