The Queen of Poisons: A Novel (The Marlow Murder Club Book 3) By Robert Thorogood

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?

Judith, the sharp-witted and fearless leader of the club, immediately dives into the investigation, using her keen intuition and vast knowledge of poisons to dissect the evidence. Suzie, the dog-walker with a knack for getting people to open up, charms her way through interviews with council members and town locals, uncovering hidden grudges and long-held secrets. Becks, the meticulous and resourceful puzzle-solver, meticulously traces every potential lead and scrutinizes alibis.

As the trio delves deeper, they uncover a web of deceit and corruption within the town council. From financial scandals to personal vendettas, everyone seems to have something to hide. With each clue, the tension mounts, and the risk of the killer striking again looms large. The Marlow Murder Club must race against time to unravel the mystery and prevent another murder.

In a tale of cunning, camaraderie, and courage, Judith, Suzie, and Becks must use all their skills to solve their most difficult case yet and restore peace to their beloved town of Marlow. 📚❤️
