A cosy murder-mystery series set in Marlow airs in the US this week – and could boost the town's profile with TV audiences across the pond. 

The Marlow Murder Club, adapted from Robert Thorogood's best-selling novel series, aired in the UK back in the spring and will be distributed by Masterpiece in America this month.

Promotional material for the locally-filmed show describes "marvellous" Marlow as "one of the prettiest villages on the banks of the Thames" and a "lively and posh Georgian market town surrounded by lovely countryside".

It will premiere on PBS on Sunday, October 27, with a channel synopsis similarly confident of the "cosy little mystery" series' capacity to win over stateside viewers, and bring them a glimpse of market town life in Buckinghamshire.

Author and screenwriter Thorogood, who was also the brain behind BBC One's Death in Paradise, told the Free Press earlier this year that he was grateful for the chance to shine a light on his "beautiful" hometown – even reeling off a list of filming tour stop-offs, perhaps soon to be diligently checked off by visiting yanks.

It would include, he suggested, the town council building – "which we pretended was a dodgy solicitor's office" and the Longridge Activity Centre, where sports enjoyers could "go ball to ball and imagine (they're) consorting with murderers".

The series, the latest of which, The Queen of Poisons, was published in January, follows trio of unlikely sleuths Judith, Becks and Suzie as they investigate a shock murder on their quiet and picturesque doorstep.

And after proving a hit with UK audiences back in March, production crews have wasted no time in diving in for a second outing, with filming taking place across Marlow this summer.

A follow-up series based on Thorogood's second novel Death Comes to Marlow alongside a handful of other standalone stories is set to debut on the Drama channel in 2025.

Keep your eyes peeled for updates as get them – and for a few more enthusiastic and accented tourists around the place!
