Fun, fast, cosy mystery featuring a very capable Sherlock-esque, female pensioner (70s) , who draws into her “Baker street” (aka Marlowe Murder Club ) 2 other female characters— a young pastor’s wife/mother, and a middle aged single mother/dogwalker with grown kids. While primarily plot driven, Bex (Rebecca) demonstrates the greatest character growth/change, while Judith and Susie both have minor growth.
The revolving lineup of killers has a Strangers on a Train twist
