Verity Beresford is worried about her husband. Oliver didn’t come home last night so of course Verity goes straight to Judith Potts, Marlow’s resident amateur sleuth, for help. Oliver, founder of the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society, had hired The Marlow Belle, a private pleasure cruiser, for an exclusive party with the MADS committee but no one remembers seeing him disembark. And then Oliver’s body washes up on the Thames with two bullet holes in him – it’s time for the Marlow Murder Club to leap into action.
Oliver was a rather complicated chap and he wasn’t short of enemies. Judith, Suzie, and Becks are convinced they’ll crack the case in no time. But things are not as they seem in the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society, and the gang will need to keep their wits about them, otherwise a killer may sail away scot-free …

As I've mentioned in my previous reviews for this series by Robert Thorogood, I love the Death in Paradise television series, and I think this series is full of the same shenanigans with less of the police procedural.
The flamboyant director of the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society (MADS), Oliver Beresford, has been shot on board the Marlow Bell as it cruised down the Thames. Before anyone even knows he's dead, his wife, Verity, goes to Judith, Suzie, and Becks for help. This time, they aren't helping DS Tanika Malik with the investigation because there's been a formal complaint made about her use of the civilian amateur sleuths.
This one ended with a bit of a cliffhanger, so I hope Robert writes The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts quickly, as everyone will be clamouring for it. GoodReads says it'll be out early in the new year.
Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for providing me with an eARC of Murder on the Marlow Belle to review. Books 1-3 in the series are out now, and Murder on the Marlow Belle will be released on September 16, 2025.
