Review season: Death Comes to Marlow by Robert Thorogood – 14th place 2023

Is a murder mystery just another cryptic and wordy crossword? Fans of Caroline Crampton's excellent podcast 'Shedunnit' may remember her episode on the subject (https://shedunnitshow.com/crypticcrimestranscript/) from 2021. It pointed me towards 'The Marlow Murder Club ' by Robort Thorogood, published only a few months ago. earlier. The novel follows crossword enthusiast Judith and her quest for clues and friendship following a murder she witnesses while swimming. We ultimately didn't manage to fit it into our 2021 series, so when the sequel launched this year, I knew we had to revisit The Cruciverbalist.
