The Marlow Murder Club

Matt Roush says...

Masterpiece Mystery! delivers another charmer in Robert Thorogood’s (Death in Paradise) adaptation of his own novel. The cozy mystery series is set in the riverside town of Marlow along the Thames, where a body is found that sets neighbor Judith Potts (Downton Abbey’s Samantha Bond), a retired archaeologist, into amateur-sleuth mode, which doesn’t thrill the acting Senior Investigating Officer, DS Tanika Malik (Natalie Dew). But even the copper soon has to admit Judith’s busybody antics deliver results, and as the body count rises, Judith forms a bond with Becks Starling (Cara Horgan), the frustrated wife of the local vicar, and Suzie Harris (Jo Martin), a dog walker seeking purpose. The case plays out over four episodes, and a second season has already been ordered.
