True to the book
The Marlow Murder Club series of books have been one of my favourite trilogies over the past few years, so hearing Robert Thorogood was working on a small screen adaptation had me interested and nervous in the same breath.
However, the nervousness was misplaced and within the first minute the pictures I had in my head of the location and main protagonists had come to life without disappointment. The casting of Samantha Bond as Judith Potts in particular was a stroke of genius.
The same can be said for both episodes. The story is very true to the first novel, which takes you on the many twists and turns.
I hope that Death Comes To Marlow and Queen of Poisons are next to come.
