So, what can viewers expect from series two?
When we return to Marlow in the new episodes, life is just about back to normal following the events of season one. But it isn't long before Judith, Becks and Suzie are called back into action to solve a string of unsettling crimes.
The synopsis continues: "From a seemingly impossible murder inside the locked study of a sweeping mansion, to the mysterious case of a man murdered in the middle of a sleepy cul-de-sac with no connection to the town, and an unexpectedly brutal accident at the prestigious Marlow sailing club that quickly reveals itself to be something more sinister, there's no rest for our sleuthing trio.
"Navigating the delicate balance of Marlow society – from local aristocracy to the workers at the local boatyard, the pubs and cafes of the high street to a newly established archaeological dig – Judith, Becks and Suzie dig into all corners of Marlow life as they assist DCI Tanika Malik in her official investigations."
The Marlow Murder Club series 2 arrives on U and U&DRAMA in 2025. Season 1 is available to stream on U.
