23. The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood

This is the third book in a month where the main characters are in their 70s.

Judith Potts, 77, lives alone in a house and one evening, while swimming in The Thames, she hears a cry and a shot. The next day she finds the body of her neighbor. She is not satisfied with the way the police investigation goes and soon draws two other women to investigate.

Each woman is different but the three of them finally solve the puzzle.

Judith Potts constructs crosswords puzzles for the local newspaper and views the clues in the crime scene as parts of a puzzle.

I also found that the author- Thorogood - is behind the successful TV series “Death in Paradise.”

Quite enjoyable.
