À propos de cet audio

The first in a stunning new series introducing the Marlow Murder Club!

"A hugely enjoyable murder mystery written with wonderful verve, humour and compassion. Utterly delightful." (Robert Webb)

"I love Robert Thorogood’s writing." (Peter James)

From the creator of the BBC One hit TV series Death in Paradise.

To solve an impossible murder, you need an impossible hero....

Judith Potts is 77 years old and blissfully happy. She lives on her own in a faded mansion just outside Marlow, there’s no man in her life to tell her what to do or how much whisky to drink, and to keep herself busy she sets crosswords for The Times newspaper.

One evening, while out swimming in the Thames, Judith witnesses a brutal murder. The local police don’t believe her story, so she decides to investigate for herself and is soon joined in her quest by Suzie, a salt-of-the-earth dog-walker, and Becks, the prim and proper wife of the local vicar.

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....

What’s not to love! Great narration, fantastically odd (in a good way) characters, and a good murder mystery. Great balance of humor, suspense, and old fashioned English sensibility.

Charming murder mystery in the English countryside

This book had me from the start. Great quality audio, fun story that moves along, and a great laugh or two along the way. Can't wait for book 2.

Brilliant!

I love all the Thursday murder club books but this one was a little less engaging. Judith’s monologues ran a little long and it was just a little too over the top for me.

Just okay

The narrator was fabulous. Love the characters and their friendship. I caught what was going on right away, but I still enjoyed how they unravelled it.

Love the characters

A new kind of senior citizen detective and her two friends solve a difficult case. The pace is fast the language polite and the whole thing entirely fun to read. Glad I found this audiobook.

Not anything like Miss Marple

Mostly I coveted the main characters house for this whole novel. The mystery was intriguing enough, not gory, and most importantly, for me, provided enjoyable escapism.

*spoiler alert*
The plot felt a bit slow in the initial development, and then again later - especially around the climax - the conversations and change of perspective were too long-winded. Listening felt like chewing gum. One of these detective stories where a murderer listens endlessly to what their could-be victim has to say, just to then be taken down 'by surprise'.
Narrator good though, and easy listen, not too gory.

Nice easy listen, plot a bit slow

I enjoy cozy mysteries, but this one had a rather slow moving plot. I found it hard to really connect with and care for the characters, even the heroine. The narrator was excellent, however, and probably kept me listening to the end. Very well read!
