Who killed the Mayor? It’s up to the Marlow Murder Club to find out …
Geoffrey Lushington, Mayor of Marlow, dies suddenly during a Town Council meeting. When traces of aconite – also known as the queen of poisons – are found in his coffee cup, the police realise he was murdered. But who did it? And why?
The police bring Judith, Suzie and Becks in to investigate as Civilian Advisors right from the start, so they have free rein to interview suspects and follow the evidence to their heart’s content, which is perfect because Judith has no time for rules and standard procedure. But this case has the Marlow Murder Club stumped. Who would want to kill the affable Mayor? How did they even get the poison into his coffee? And is anyone else in danger? The Marlow Murder Club are about to face their most difficult case yet …

I only recently started listening to audiobooks in the car on my commute to and from work. The Marlow murder club series is one I stumbled upon by chance and I’m so glad I did!A must-read
I could found myself disappointed to be arriving home because I had to pause the story for another time, waiting in traffic was no longer a drag in the mornings. I found it so exciting trying to work out who the killer was and how they did it and at the end I was still always surprised at how everything came together.
Overall, I just really enjoyed this book and book series as well as the narration of them, the narrator has matched voices perfectly to the characters and it’s so immersive. I just love it and can’t wait for the next one to be available to listen to!Book★5
