Thoughts

I really enjoyed this latest book in the Marlow Murders series, and this time we got to learn so much more about the ringleader and her murky past. I’ve sort of forgotten what the main murder and mystery was, although I know it was entertaining as I read it, because finding out what went on with Potts and her late husband was far more intriguing. I love this mismatch bunch of friends and how they get to the bottom of things regardless of whether they should be getting involved or not.
