Death Comes to Marlow is a clever cosy mystery. Robert Thorogood has done it once again! It was a delight reuniting with the dynamic trio - Judith, Suzie and Becks as they brought their wits together to solve a puzzling locked room mystery that turns into murder. I appreciate how the supporting characters, especially Suzie and Becks, are fleshed out. The narrative style hooked me, and the banter was skillfully crafted. The plot was an intricate maze with remarkable breakthroughs and yet frustrating dead ends, all of which complement an unpredictable and shocking ending. The last two chapters were jaw-dropping! This mystery explores cruel intentions, wealth, family, secrets and friendships. Do not skip this series if you're a fan of cosy mysteries, amateur detectives and the classic whodunit.

I look forward to reading more of the author's work and the series!
