Robert Thorogood Books with Women Sleuths Editorial Review
**** "The Marlow Murder Club," the first book in Robert Thorogood's new series, has quickly garnered attention for its delightful blend of humor and suspense. The narrative follows Judith Potts, a spirited and eccentric woman who, alongside her newfound friends—a tough dog walker named Suzie and the vicar's wife Becks—embarks on a mission to solve a string of murders in their quaint village of Marlow. Thorogood crafts a story that's engaging and character-driven, reminiscent of classic mystery styles akin to Agatha Christie and the beloved "Murder She Wrote." Readers have found the book to be an entertaining page-turner with an excellent flow, balancing quirky humor with moments of genuine tension as they unravel the mystery alongside the trio. The characters are cleverly developed, particularly Judith, who stands out as a modern icon in the mystery genre. The writing is accessible and amusing, making for a perfect cozy read for fans of both murder mysteries and light-hearted storytelling. Moreover, the fans of established mystery series are likely to appreciate the charm and wit that Thorogood brings to this initial installment. However, potential readers should be aware that the book includes some mature language, which may not appeal to all audiences. Overall, "The Marlow Murder Club" promises a delightful reading experience with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end. **
