And when Oliver's body washes up on the Thames with two bullet holes in him, it's time for the Marlow Murder Club to leap into action.Oliver was, by all accounts, a rather complicated fellow, with a reputation for bullying children during nativity play rehearsals, and he wasn't short of enemies.

The Marlow Murder Club is about to face their most difficult case yet...

Efter att ha löst ett mord för ett år sedan har saker och ting återgått till det normala för korsordsmakaren Judith Potts och hennes vänner, hundvaktaren Suzie och kyrkoherdens fru Becks. Men allt förändras när Judith blir bjuden till ett cocktailparty för att fira den stundande vigseln mellan den förmögna sir Peter Bailey och den mycket yngre sjuksköterskan Jenny Page. På festen anar hon att vissa gäster inte tycker att vigseln är en särskilt bra idé, och innan eftermiddagen når sitt slut hittas brudgummen död i sitt arbetsrum. Då rummet är låst från insidan tror polisen inte att det handlar om ett mord, men Judith är av en annan åsikt. Det ser ut som att de tre vännerna har sitt andra fall ... Döden i Marlow är en pusseldeckare av bästa slag, där engelskt småstadsgemyt, en excentrisk gammal dam och brutala mord återfinns bland ingredienserna. ROBERT THOROGOOD är mest känd som skaparen bakom tv-succén Mord i paradiset. Han föddes i Colchester 1972. Vid tio års ålder läste han sin första Agatha Christie-bok och har varit förälskad i genren sedan dess. Thorogood / / gör Morden i Marlow mysiga på det där Midsomer - sättet, där ett stillsamt, lummigt England befolkas av moderna miss Marples, kyrkokörer och en och annan tämligen lättfångad mördare. Lotta Olsson, Dagens Nyheter Jag älskar det Robert Thorogood skrivit. Peter James
