At the end, Judith plans this (incredibly flawed) trap for one of the murderers because she knows he's going to come to her house to kill her.
Robert Thorogood (born 1972) [ citation needed] is an English screenwriter and novelist. He is the creator of the BBC One murder mystery series Death in Paradise. [1] He won France Film's "En Route to France" award in 2012. [2] Early life [ edit ] She swam upstream, the evening sunshine flashing diamonds on the water all around. Judith smiled to herself. She always smiled to herself when she was out swimming. She couldn't help it. After all, there might be dog walkers on the Thames path, and there were very definitely plenty of people in the near distance as she looked at the spire of the Marlow church and the span of the Victorian suspension bridge that linked the town to the neighbouring village of Bisham. None of these people were aware that there was a seventy-seven year old woman swimming nearby entirely in the nude. Judith Potts is seventy-seven years old and blissfully happy. She lives on her own in a faded mansion just outside Marlow, there’s no man in her life to tell her what to do or how much whisky to drink, and to keep herself busy she sets crosswords for The Times newspaper. They fill Malik in. Malik says Bishop couldn’t have killed Iqbal because he was in Malta at the time. Masterpiece on PBS has dropped the first images from its production of The Marlow Murder Club from Death in Paradisecreator Robert Thorogood.It’s based on Thorogood’s novel of the same name and stars Samantha Bond ( Downton Abbey), Jo Martin ( Small Axe), Cara Horgan ( The Sandman) and Natalie Dew ( Archer).Thank you so much to the publisher, Poisoned Pen Press, for providing me with a copy to read and review. The dynamite reading team of Jan, Dorie, and I were sadly disheartened, disenchanted and disgruntled, (never a good combination when reading a story). I gave this book a 2 because 1. I could possibly be one of the mature women in the story, (I mean seriously, I could have been Suzie!) and 2. the beginning was promising. So, my advice would be as a seasoned, in my prime lady, to give this one a pass, but if you are at all interested in mystery that isn't a mystery than give this one a go. She's stunned and has no idea how to react. Did someone just murder Stefan Dunwoody? Judith alerts the police and watches their hasty search of the property. Rolling her eyes, Judith knows they'll find nothing. Judith is a 77-year old…a septuagenarian (please don’t ever ask me to pronounce that) who likes to relax in the evening by drinking scotch and swimming naked in the Thames River. On top of that, she also creates crossword puzzles for the newspaper. On top of THAT, it turns out she also may be good at solving crimes. Thorogood is the creator of hugely successful BBC drama Death in Paradise, which airs in the U.S. on PBS and has run for 12 seasons. He is penning the screenplay for The Marlow Murder Club, with Steve Barron directing.
An all-new adaptation of Robert Thorogood’s novel The Marlow Murder Club is coming soon to MASTERPIECE on PBS. The thrilling, four part series will star Samantha Bond who is joined by Jo Martin, Cara Horgan and Natalie Dew. I was listening to the audiobook, so I didn't have the satisfaction of throwing the book across the room. I just knew I was gonna love Judith after her first appearance, when she goes skinny dipping into the Thames. In that moment is made clear that she's not a frail old lady and that nothing will stop her till she finds the truth. She reminded me of Miss Marple on steroids!The group attends Iqbal’s funeral. They are told that Iqbal was supposed to inherit some money from his neighbour, an old man called Ezra. Except someone made Ezra change his will and give them the money instead. They need to figure out who this other person is. Judith Potts is a seventy year old woman lives by herself in a home in Marlowe. She writes crossword puzzles for the Times paper, and is very good at it. Judith witnesses what she believes is the murder of her neighbor one evening while swimming in the river. The Marlow Murder Club follows 77-year old Judith Potts, a crossword setter, who lives in a slightly-fading mansion on the banks of the River Thames. Unfortunately, despite the many positives it doesn't entirely hold my attention and my mind wanders! The ending kind of had to be but by the same token it's a bit bonkers! A woman is spying on Malik from the bushes. She says her name is Suzie Harris and she is Iqbal’s dog walker. She agrees to look after the dog for the time being.
