The Marlow Murder Club star Samantha Bond teases the "twists and turns" for season 3
What will Judith, Suzie and Becks be investigating this time around?
Samantha Bond, Jo Martin and Cara Horgan are back as the three members of the titular Marlow Murder Club, with the trio taking on a set of new cases.
Bond, who plays Judith Potts, spoke exclusively with Radio Times about the show's third season, teasing what viewers can expect when it airs on U&Drama.
When asked what was new this time around, Bond said that the show's appeal was in its "twists and turns" every episode, before noting that "the quality of the writing has been maintained now for three series, and one can't ask for more than that".
Asked to tease the three cases that we'll see across the six new episodes, Bond said: "Well, the great thing about The Marlow Murder Club is that the murder is always at the beginning.
"So storyline one, the mayor of the council gets murdered and there are all the councillors, and any one of them could have done it. And the twists and turns it takes you on are phenomenal."
She continued: "Then storyline two is the murder of a celebrity chef, and who could have done it, and why, or were they in it together?
"And then the last one, which is also a wonderful story, is a university reunion for Becks and her friends. And of course, one of them gets killed. Is it one of her friends who's killed another of her friends? Or is there someone else in that house?"
The Marlow Murder Club also stars Natalie Dew, Phill Langhorne, Holli Dempsey and Tijan Sarr, while Huw Quarshie also returns in season 3 having appeared as a guest star in the show's second run.
