Speaking from his home in Marlow, Buckinghamshire,Thorogood reveals: “I have always adored Puzzler magazine. The inspiration for Judith comes from his childhood. Together they set out to solve a string of murders with surprising results. In it, we meet Judith Potts, a fiercely independent 77-year-old widow who sets crosswords for a living from her faded mansion overlooking the river and her cohorts, single mum Suzie and Becks, the vicar’s wife. The writer, whose paternal forebears came from Glasgow, has created a clutch of cracking characters in a novel set around the Thames and swept along by a plot that has as many twists and turns as the river itself. TV’s Death In Paradise writer Robert Thorogood is a master of “cosy crime” and his latest offering, The Marlow Murder Club, is proof of the premeditated murder pudding.
