DEATH COMES TO MARLOW Marlow Murder Club, Book 2

The eccentric members of the Marlow Murder Club are back for more sleuthing adventures. Thorogood has once again crafted an amusing and taut cozy mystery, animated by another superb performance from Nicolette McKenzie. Her expert delivery brings back the subtle character differentiation that made the first audiobook such an enjoyable listening experience. Especially delightful are McKenzie's continuing portrayals of 77-year-old Judith, who writes crossword puzzles for THE TIMES; a down-at-the-heels dog walker turned radio star named Suzie; and the suddenly secretive vicar's wife, Becks. Energetic pacing keeps this campy whodunnit moving briskly as the intrepid trio work to solve what Judith is convinced is the locked-room murder of a local squire who had the room's key in his pocket.
