Judith is what I call a tough nut with a lovely personality a super sleuth to the bitter end she won’t give up until she gets her man 👨. One of the prevalent themes running through the book is Judith's role as a crossword setter for The Times. I highly recommend this book to readers who have enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman and Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn. This was my favorite book of the three!

This book is very Agatha Christie-esque. The author admits and embraces this posture. I enjoy a good Agatha Christie story and I’ve heard “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. I also enjoyed the characters and this story. However, there were things within the story that rang very familiar to me. For this reason, the rating I chose reflects that. The Marlow Murder Club" is the second book I've read in the past few months where a group of senior citizens go and solve a murder. It seems to be becoming quite a trend and I only have three words: KEEP THEM COMING! I loved "The Thursday Murder Club" and I've loved "The Marlow Murder Club".
