Death Comes To Marlow
Trade paperback edition in very good condition. Marlow Murder Club Mysteries #2.
“Feynman’s technique was simple. And he claimed that it was always successful. Bit it’s not currently working for me. Not yet.
What was it?
When he was building the first atomic bomb, he observed that scientists were so worried about forgetting the codes to their safes that they invariably used a memorable date as their combination. And if you do the maths on that, the first two numbers, the month in the American dating system, could only be 01 - 12 and having only twelve options instead of 99 made it a far more manageable process when the next numbers were likely to be between one and 31, and the last two were certainly a two-digit number from the previous 50 years. Basically, he cut the odds and could crack the code with brute force if he had to. But he rarely had to because he found that people wrote the code down on a slip of paper or in a notebook somewhere near the safe in question. In a drawer or whatnot.”
It’s been an enjoyable and murder-free time for Judith, Suzie, and Becks—AKA the Marlow Murder Club—since the events of last year. The most exciting thing on the horizon is the upcoming wedding of Marlow grandee, Sir Peter Bailey to his nurse, Jenny Page. Sir Peter is having a party at his grand mansion on the river Thames the day before the wedding, and Judith and Company are looking forward to a bit of free champagne.
But during the soiree, there’ a crash from inside the house, and when the Marlow Murder Club rush to investigate, they are shocked to find the groom-to-be crushed to death in his study.
The study was locked from the inside, so the police don’t consider the death suspicious. But Judith disagrees. As far as she is concerned, Peter was murdered! And it is up to the Marlow Murder Club to find the killer before he or she strikes again.
