When it comes to solving grisly small-town murder cases, there are only three women who are up to the task. Meet expert crossworder Judith Potts (Samantha Bond), salt-of-the-earth dogwalker Suzie Harris (Jo Martin) and prim-and-proper vicar’s wife Becks Starling (Cara Horgan) – a super-sleuthing trio and overall force to be reckoned with.
Inspired by Death In Paradise creator Robot Thorogood’s crime novels, the first series saw our three leading ladies form an unlikely friendship as they joined forces with police officer DS Tanika Malik (Natalie Dew) to solve a triple murder that had plagued their peaceful home town of Marlow. But there’s no rest for these amateur sleuths as a shocking new crime rocks the local community.

In the second series, partly inspired by Thorogood’s novel Death In Marlow but also featuring new stories from crime screenwriters Lucia Haynes (Vera, Annika) and Julia Gilbert (Midsomer Murders, Agatha Raisin), there have been a few changes in Marlow. Tanika has been promoted to DCI and in one of her first leadership acts, has hired Judith, Suzie and Becks as civilian advisors .
Of course, trouble is never too far away for our well-meaning meddlers and soon enough a wave of grisly killings occur, from a seemingly impossible homicide in an aristocratic mansion to an apparent accident at the prestigious Marlow Sailing Club. So are the killings connected? That’s the puzzle to be solved by Marlow’s finest amateur detectives as they assist Tanika with her official investigations.

Joining the women on their mystery-solving mission this time around are a slew of guest stars, including Samantha Womack (EastEnders), Nina Sosanya (W1A), Andrew Knott (Ackley Bridge), Hugh Quarshie (Holby City), Patrick Robinson (Shetland) and Tom Stourton (Stath Lets Flats). With three two-part episodes coming our way, we can’t wait to stick on our deerstalkers and sink our teeth into a new chapter of this cosy crime drama.
