The Marlow Murder Club (TV series)

Following the murder of two people in the Buckinghamshire town of Marlow, three residents form a loose club to investigate. Judith Potts, a retired archaeologist, sets crosswords for the local newspaper. Suzie Harris is a professional dog walker, while Becks Starling, a former music industry executive, is struggling to adapt to her new life as the vicar's wife. Detective Sergeant Tanika Malik, who leads the Buckinghamshire Police's response while Gareth Hoskins is on leave, is initially sceptical of the trio, but when they prove themselves apt, she hires them as official civilian advisors. The women's family lives often provide subplots for the series. Judith inherited her riverside mansion from her late Aunt Jess and was briefly married to a fellow archaeologist decades earlier. Suzie has an 18-year-old daughter by her Jamaican ex-husband, and Becks and her husband, Colin, have a teenage son and daughter. Tanika and her husband, Shamil, have a young daughter, Shanti, and Tanika struggles with feelings of inadequacy as she balances her career with her home life. ==Cast==
