Cozy Mystery Thursday: The Marlow Murder Club Season 1 Episodes 1 & 2 + A Taste for Murder Mini Review

Spoiler Note

This episode is mostly low spoiler. I discuss the setup, characters, atmosphere, suspects, and overall thoughts on episodes 1 and 2 of The Marlow Murder Club, along with a mini review of A Taste for Murder. I avoid major reveals and ending spoilers.

In today’s Cozy Mystery Thursday, we’re heading to the beautiful village of Marlow to talk about the first two episodes of The Marlow Murder Club on PBS Masterpiece.

We’re discussing Judith Potts, suspicious neighbors, church gossip, amateur sleuthing, cozy village atmosphere, and the beginnings of what may become one of my newest cozy mystery comfort watches.

I’m also sharing a mini review of A Taste for Murder on BritBox — a not-so-cozy Italian crime drama filled with family tension, gorgeous Capri scenery, and food that will absolutely make you hungry.
