Geoffrey Lushington, Mayor of Marlow, dies suddenly during a Town Council meeting. When traces of aconite - the Queen of Poisons - are found in his coffee cup, it's clear he was murdered. But who did it ? And why ? Local sleuths Judith, Suzie, and Becks (AKA the Marlow Murder Club) are on hand to help the police investigate. As official Civilian Advisors, they have free rein to interview suspects and follow the evidence to their heart's content, which is perfect because Judith has no time for rules and standard procedure.
But this case has them stumped. Who would want to kill the affable Mayor ? How did they do it ? And is anyone else in danger ? The Marlow Murder Club are about to face their most difficult case yet...
