4.5 Stars from me
I’ve watched, rather than read, the previous installments of this series and so was delighted to find that the books reads exactly like the TV episodes. And having seen the actors on screen really brought the book to life for me as it was easy to picture them all, and in particular Judith’s wonderful house, as I read.
Thorogood truly has captured everything that is good about cosy crime in these books, they deliver intrigue and a challenge without being brutal and blood thirsty. Likeable characters and complex enough situations to keep the story interesting – perfect for a lazy Sunday.
This is Book 5 of Marlow Murder Club Mysteries, which is fast becoming a favourite series of mine.
My thanks to the author, Netgalley and HQ for an ARC in return for an honest review.
Blurb: A killer is on the loose. The bodies are piling up. And Judith is hiding a deadly secret …
