Attention, fans of cozy murder mysteries! The highly anticipated second season of The Marlow Murder Club is on the way. Based on the novels by Robert Thorogood, the creator of Death in Paradise, this series invites audiences back to the captivating riverside town of Marlow.

This season will introduce three intriguing cases, each explored over two episodes. While specific plot details remain confidential, UKTV has teased some potential plotlines. The official synopsis hints at an engaging season:
“From an enigmatic murder in a locked study of a grand mansion, to a baffling case where a man is found dead in a serene cul-de-sac—with no links to the locality, and a seemingly accidental incident at the prestigious Marlow sailing club that turns out to be far more nefarious, our detective trio will face a relentless wave of challenges. Balancing the intricacies of Marlow’s society—from the local elite to the workers in the boatyard, and the bustling pubs and cafes of the high street to a new archaeological excavation—Judith, Becks, and Suzie will investigate every facet of Marlow life, supporting DCI Tanika Malik in her formal inquiries.”
How these resourceful women will navigate the difficulties ahead remains to be seen.
