Stephen Marlow was taken into custody Saturday night by police in Lawrence, Kansas, Butler Township Police Chief John Porter said at a news conference. Readers will enjoy piecing together this engaging puzzle alongside members of the Marlow Murder Club.A suspect in the shooting deaths of four people at multiple sites outside of Dayton, Ohio, has been arrested, police said.

In Death Comes to Marlow, Thorogood expertly crafts a locked-room mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s well-plotted stories. The ways the trio challenge and complement one another are not only highlights of the book but also the things that help them successfully solve the mystery. Becks, the vicar’s rule-following wife, and Suzie, a free-spirited dog walker turned local radio personality, may be unlikely companions for Judith, but their friendships are rooted in respect. Judith is a charming protagonist she’s witty, warm and bulldozes her way into a police investigation with ease. But how did the perpetrator pull off such a seemingly impossible murder? When Judith, Suzie and Becks launch their own investigation, however, they find that just about everyone close to the aristocrat may have had a motive to kill him.

Local police believe his death was an accident-after all, Sir Peter was alone in a locked room when a heavy piece of furniture fell on him. Convinced something foul will occur, she attends the party but is still shocked when Sir Peter himself is killed. When Sir Peter Bailey, a wealthy Marlow resident, offers Judith a last-minute invitation to his pre-wedding festivities, something about the gesture makes Judith uneasy. But now the 78-year-old woman is back to her usual routine: setting crossword puzzles for the local paper, swimming nude in the nearby Thames during the day and enjoying a glass of scotch (or two) at night.

She became something of a local celebrity after she and her friends Becks and Suzie helped solve a series of murders in their quiet town of Marlow, England. Life is returning to normal for Judith Potts. The women of the Marlow Murder Club are back in business in Death Comes to Marlow, the delightful second installment of Robert Thorogood’s cozy mystery series.
