This is such a fun series and there’ll be another one coming out in June.  Oh yay!   Judith Potts is an elderly lady 80 years old and as inquisitive as she probably ever was.  She lives alone on the banks of the Thames as it meanders through London. The estate was inherited from an aunt along with all its furnishings.  She creates crossword puzzles for a local newspaper or two.   But people in her neighborhood seem to get murdered.  At least that’s the case in both this book and the first book in the series.

The Marlow Murder Club, Book 2

Judith has a great little bunch of friends.  There’s Suzie who definitely has her own opinions, and Becks who is married to a vicar and is very sympathetic and sweet but occasionally also quite surprising.  The police officer who gets assigned to them is Tanika, but she worries about the ladies and is harassed by her boss, the police chief.   

In this episode Sir Peter Bailey is found dead the day prior to his wedding when a large closet falls on him in a locked room. The room key is in found in his pocket.  We have the usual nasty suspects, a son, an ex-wife, a young fiancee, disgruntled employees,  and a few others. There’s a Will to be considered.  Ach – good stuff.
