The Queen of Poisons
by Robert Thorogood
The three musketeers are back at it. In this third installment the Marlow Murder Club have been invited by the local police to help solve the poisoning of the local mayor, Geoffrey Lushington. But as Judith, Becks and Suzie conduct their own investigation they are baffled as to who would murder the seemingly beloved mayor. The trio must find out who had the means, motive and opportunity to slip Geoffrey the “queen of poisons” also known as wolfsbane.
Overall rating 3/5
For fans of Agatha Raisin, minus the humor. I did enjoy the dynamic between the three older ladies and how they bring out each other’s best characteristics. However, a book written by a male explaining that a woman who commits theft is because she is menopausal, is absolutely absurd. And the fat shaming done in this book is beyond despicable. If these are not touchy topics for you then I would recommend this book as it is well written beyond these issues.
*Thank you to Robert Thorogood, Netgalley and Recorded Books for the audio copy. I am freely leaving my honest review.
