Read a full summary of The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood below. If you can’t remember what happened in The Marlow Murder Club and you need a refresher, then you’re in the right place. What happened in The Marlow Murder Club?

The group attends Iqbal’s funeral. They are told that Iqbal was supposed to inherit some money from his neighbour, an old man called Ezra. Except someone made Ezra change his will and give them the money instead. They need to figure out who this other person is.It isn’t long before there is another murder – performed the same way and with a certain “tell” left behind. Then, a third murder – incredibly unheard of in the small, sleepy town of Marlow. Emma the dog arrives just in time and pins Danny to the floor. The police arrive and Andy, Elliot, and Danny are all arrested. At the end, Judith plans this (incredibly flawed) trap for one of the murderers because she knows he's going to come to her house to kill her.

The police of course think she’s a meddlesome old woman who should mind her business. They don’t take her seriously at all. So she takes it upon herself to solve the murder. She receives help with her endeavor from her new friend Suzie and together they form the Marlowe Murder club. When another body appears, they believe there is a serial killer on the loose. Will the murder club be able to solve the case?Murders do not happen in Marlow! When she reports what she witnessed to the police, they do nothing until Judy investigates and finds the body. The one policewoman, new to being in charge, finds herself doubting her own competence. She dismisses the death as suicide or accidental. It is learned that he was shot with a missing antique gun. Since the police are not taking the killing seriously, Judy decides to prove the man was murdered. The gang figure out that Andy Bishop shredded information about Ezra’s will. Ezra’s two witnesses both died in March the previous year, but the will was dated in May. Sus.

A woman is spying on Malik from the bushes. She says her name is Suzie Harris and she is Iqbal’s dog walker. She agrees to look after the dog for the time being. I would have enjoyed it immensely if the author had the creativity to plan a huge plot twist that I couldn't see coming! Goldbart, Max (5 June 2023).

Danny arrives and Malik asks him a few questions. Danny lets slip that he and Liz have spent all their savings. The Writing. Thorogood brings his own clever voice and writing to this story, and for the most part I really enjoyed the mystery and how things unfolded. The ending felt like a Murder She Wrote episode, but instead of Jessica Fletcher, Judith spelled out how the crime was solved. Fans of that show should enjoy this.During an evening dip in the Thames, Judith hears a gun-shot coming from the direction of her next-door neighbor's yard. When the police discover Stefan Dunwoody’s body they declare it a suicide. A bullet wound in the forehead? No weapon discovered? Judith's convinced it's murder! Judith looks Stefan up online and finds he was in a “bust up” at the Henley Regatta. He got into a fight with Elliot Howard, the owner of an auction house. Seventy-seven years old Judith Potts loves her life and being totally in charge of it. It consists of her routine of setting crosswords for the The Times newspaper, swimming nude in the Thames, drinking, lots of drinking, and riding her bike in town where everyone seems to know her, to her constant surprise. She's not big on keeping her mansion tidy, there might be a bra hanging from something in the living room, but she is happy with her way of life. When she is nude swimming in the Thames one hot summer night, she hears a yell and a gunshot from her neighbor's place. When the police do a lousy investigation, Judith takes matters into her own hands and investigates her neighbor's property herself and finds his body. She knows he's been murdered even though the police, which seems to be mostly just one beleaguered police woman, aren't taking the death of her neighbor seriously.
