Judith is seventy-seven and lives on her own in a mansion in Marlow.  She loves to make crossword puzzles, drink whiskey, and swim in the Thames.  One night when she is out swimming, she witnesses the murder of her neighbor.  When the police don't take action, Judith decides it's up to her to figure out what happened, especially when another murder occurs.  Together with her friends, Suzie and Becks, they form the Marlow Murder Club.

I love how The Marlow Murder Club begins and ends with really tense scenes.  It felt more like a mix between a thriller and a cozy mystery because of this.  This book was the perfect choice for The Travelling Reader box because Thorogood does a great job of immersing the reader in Marlow.  The cast of characters are all quirky in their own way and the mystery keeps you guessing until the end!

I received my copy of The Marlow Murder Club through The Travelling Reader subscription box.  I love the immersive experience that this book box provides.  Not only do the treats in the box go along with the story, but there are also postcards of the places mentioned throughout Marlow tucked in the book.
