The Marlow Murder Club
What you need to know before your trail
Seventy-seven-year-old Judith Potts is blissfully happy. She lives alone in a faded mansion in Marlow, sets crosswords for The Times, and there’s no man in her life to tell her what to do or how much whisky to drink.
One evening, while out swimming in the Thames, Judith witnesses a brutal murder. When the local police don’t believe her story, Judith and two unlikely friends decide to investigate for themselves. Together, they are the Marlow Murder Club.
But soon another body turns up, and it seems they have a real-life serial killer on their hands. Now the puzzle they set out to solve has become a trap from which they might never escape…

Travel Guide
Marlow
Marlow is one of the loveliest locations on the River Thames. It’s set amongst the rich meadows of the river valley and alongside the woodlands of the Chiltern Hills.
The town’s most famous landmark is the suspension bridge which spans the River Thames and joins the counties of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.
Residents of the town have included Mary Shelley who finished her gothic masterpiece Frankenstein while living in the town.
