A Thames-side mystery within Marlow’s amateur theatre circle

When Oliver Beresford disappears after a party aboard a private pleasure cruiser, his wife, Verity, turns to Judith Potts for help. Oliver’s body is later found in the Thames, and the Marlow Murder Club—Judith, Suzie and Becks—must investigate his connections to the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society. The case brings a close-knit group, a missing-person question and a murder together, while Oliver’s reputation for bullying children during nativity rehearsals gives the sleuths a range of possible enemies to consider. The theatrical society is central to the mystery, and the description signals that its members and relationships are not as straightforward as they first appear.

Book overview

The new cozy crime novel from the bestselling author of The Marlow Murder Club, soon to be a major TV series on PBS Masterpiece

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, by all accounts, a rather complicated chap with a reputation for bullying children during nativity play rehearsals, and he wasn't short of enemies. Judith, Suzie, and Becks are convinced they'll find his killer in no time. But things are not as they seem in the Marlow Amateur Dramatic Society, and this case is not so clear-cut after all. The gang will need to keep their wits about them to solve this case--otherwise a killer will walk free...
