While life in the idyllic town of Marlow has just about returned to normal after a chain of murders rattled the tightly knit community, it2s not long before retired archaeologist Judith Potts, dog-walker Suzie Harris, and Vicar's wife Becks Starling are called back into action to solve a series of new crimes that befall the local residents. From a seemingly impossible murder inside the locked study of a sweeping mansion to the mysterious case of a man with no connection to the town murdered in the middle of a sleepy cul-de-sac, and an unexpectedly brutal accident at the prestigious Marlow sailing club that quickly reveals itself to be something more sinister, there's no rest for our sleuthing trio. Navigating the delicate balance of Marlow society from local aristocracy to the workers at the local boatyard, the pubs and cafes of the high street to a newly established archaeological dig Judith, Becks and Suzie dig into all corners of Marlow life as they assist DCI Tanika Malik in her official investigations.
