MASTERPIECE has announced the co-commissioning of the TV adaptation of Robert Thorogood’s hit novel The Marlow Murder Club, alongwith UKTV. Airing in four parts on PBS, the series will star Samantha Bond (Downton Abbey, Home Fires) who is joined by Jo Martin (Doctor Who,Back to Life), Cara Horgan (The Sandman, Traitors) and Natalie Dew (Sandylands, The Capture).
The story follows retired archaeologist Judith Potts (Bond) who lives alone in a faded mansion in the peaceful town of Marlow. During one of her regular wild swims in the Thames, she hears a gunshot coming from a neighbor’s garden and believes a brutal murder has taken place. When the police are reluctant to believe her story, she finds herself forming an unlikely friendship with local dog-walker and empty-nester Suzie (Martin) and unfulfilled vicar’s wife Becks (Horgan) as they start an investigation of their own.
Stay tuned for more news!!
