I seem to have skipped the second book in the Marlow Murder Club books by Robert Thorogood and jumped right into the third: The Queen of Poisons. No wonder it took me a bit to figure out the characters again! The mayor of Marlow dies, suddenly and in a public place. He was well liked, too, so ... why? The 'what' wasn't so hard, it was aconite in his coffee, something that is grown in a yard of two of the local citizens. The 'how' is a bit harder, how did it get into his coffee? And, of course, who? It was at a town council meeting with just the council members and one citizen with a question. This time the women who make up the Marlow Murder Club are brought in to help the police as they can go places and ask questions as civilians the police cannot.
