The Queen of Poisons (#1,255) is the third in Robert Thorogood's Marlow Mystery Club series, soon coming to a PBS/Masterpiece station near you.
This time around, Susie is actually present at the Marlow Building Council meeting when the murder takes place. Geoffrey is beloved by everyone in town. Nobody has a bad word to say about someone who goes out of his way to help those around him in any possible way. Only the Building Permit Committee members plus Susie in the visitors' gallery were present when it happened. So how, exactly, did it happen?
Malika goes right to the source and deputizes Judith, Susie and Becks as civilian advisors to the police with official lanyards and all. But she's sorely mistaken if she thinks she's going to rein in the dynamic trio as they use their unique skills and connections to work out "whodunnit".
I've got to say, I did not see the end coming!
