Marlow's amateur sleuths are back in this, their third outing. In The Queen of Poisons they have been given an advisory role with the police as they investigate the murder of the Mayor of Marlow. They take this role very seriously, and flash their official lanyards everywhere they go.
The investigation keeps our intrepid ladies very busy, as there are no shortage of suspects.
The Queen of Poisons is a cosy mystery, and quite a jolly affair. It's an easy, pleasurable read, but reality should definitely be suspended while reading, as I have my doubts any police force would allow three civilians to trample around crime scenes or question suspects, the way Judith, Suzie and Becks do.
