I'm the author of THE MARLOW MURDER CLUB, a brand new murder mystery novel, out in January 2021. (I also created the TV show Death in Paradise, and have written 4 standalone / original Death in Paradise novels featuring the first detective, Richard Poole.)   

Praise for The Marlow Murder Club:

‘A hugely enjoyable murder mystery written with wonderful verve, humour and compassion. Utterly delightful’ ROBERT WEBB

‘This is just the kind of book I love to read – a proper whodunit with clues, suspects, and engaging leading characters. Great location too, and lots of charm and humour. I loved it’ FAITH MARTIN

‘Agatha Christie meets Colin Dexter. Genuine, likeable characters and natural, funny dialogue. A pitch-perfect murder mystery with a heart-stopping finale’ MICHAEL WOOD

‘The perfect book for these troubled times - fiendishly clever and funny, with delightful and original characters. I loved it!’ ROZ WATKINS

‘The Marlow Murder Club is a hugely entertaining mystery, and Judith Potts, the Marple of Marlow, is a wonderful new detective character’ MARTIN EDWARDS

‘It combines deft plotting, witty dialogue and a trio of formidable female amateur investigators – a dog-walker, a vicar’s wife and a septuagenarian crossword compiler – of whom the last is one of the most original and beguiling characters I have read about for a long time. The book is a delight from start to finish. Robert Thorogood has brought the fun back into crime fiction’ SIMON BRETT

‘A great escapist yarn from start to finish and a real tonic.’ SIMON KERNICK

'A very well-crafted murder mystery, with a core of delightful central characters and a twisty-turny plot that managed to twist and turn past me. An absolute delight' THE PUZZLE DOCTOR

‘Thrilling and heartfelt, gripping and wonderfully humorous, The Marlow Murder Club is an absolute joy from first page to last’ CHRIS WHITAKER

‘Move over, Superman, there’s a new caped crusader in town, and she’s kicking butt. Her name is Judith Potts, and you’re going to love her. Beautifully crafted, funny and thrilling, Thorogood has created a delightful read. I have started looking at real estate in Marlow. Because I want more’ DEON MEYER
