Judith Potts er syvoghalvfjerds år gammel og lever et godt og stille liv i sit gamle hus, der ligger ned til Themsen i den lille by Marlow. Hun har ingen mand til at blande sig i, hvad hun laver, eller hvor meget whisky hun drikker. Tiden får hun til at gå med at konstruere krydsogtværser for The Times, og så er hun også glad for en aftendukkert, nøgen, i floden. På en af sine svømmeture hører Judith et råb og et skud fra et af nabohusene. Da det lokale politi nægter at undersøge sagen nærmere, må Judith selv tage affære og beslutter sig for sammen med to andre af byens damer at efterforske sagen. Inden længe dukker et lig op, og Marlow-klubben står nu med sikkerhed med deres første regulære sag.

'Deftly entertaining ... satisfyingly pushes all the requisite Agatha Christie-style buttons'- Barry Forshaw, THE INDEPENDENT An original story from the creator and writer of the hit BBC One TV series, Death in Paradise, featuring on-screen favourite detective, DI Richard Poole. Supermodel Polly Carter was famed for her looks and party-girl lifestyle. Now she's dead, apparently having thrown herself from the clifftop near her home on the island of Saint-Marie. Those who knew her say Polly would never have killed herself...and when he is called in to investigate, DI Richard Poole is inclined to agree there is more to Polly's death than meets the eye. Already fighting a losing battle against the intense summer heat of the Caribbean, Richard now faces fresh adversaries: a stream of alibis; a host of conflicting motives; and, worst of all, a visit from his mother. A frenzy which would surely allow a murderer to slip away unnoticed...yet Richard is certain that the guilty party is still on the island. As his team closes in on Polly's household, Richard becomes convinced that the model's death was an inside job. And he's determined to prove who planned the killing of Polly Carter, and why...

Marlow-klubbens førstedame, Judith Potts, beslutter sig for at tage med – det er trods alt kun et par huse længere oppe ad Themsen, og hvem siger nej til gratis champagne? Festen får dog en brat ende, da der høres et højt brag, og den kommende brudgom findes knust under et skab i sit arbejdsværelse. Døren var låst indefra, så politiet konkluderer, at der må være tale om selvmord. Judith er dog overbevist om, at Peter er blevet myrdet, og at han inviterede hende med til festen, fordi han havde en mistanke om, at nogen var ude på at dræbe ham. Nu er det op til Marlow-klubben at gøre alt, hvad de kan, for at finde morderen, før han eller hun slår til igen.DØDEN KOMMER TIL MARLOW er andet bind i den charmerende cosy crime-serie om Marlow-klubben, der på bedste Agatha Christie-vis opklarer mord i den lille by Marlow, der ligger ved Themsen vest for London.

"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 realize he was murdered. But who did it? And why? The police bring Judith, Suzie, and Becks in to investigate the murder 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 of Marlow? How did they even get the poison into his coffee? And is anyone else in danger? The Marlow Murder Club is about to face their most difficult case yet.."--
