![]() She is exactly the right kind of madcap character to lead a story like this and her naturally inquisitive and logic driven mind means that she won’t give up, even when all the evidence points away from what she believes to be the truth. She is bold, forthright and more than happy to insinuate herself into the investigation in spite of warnings from the police not to. ![]() But despite her eccentricities, and there are many, I really liked Judith as a character. Yes, it is true to say that Judith Potts is quite the character, so it’s hardly any wonder when nobody, the police included, will take her claims that Stefan was murdered, very seriously. I could never imagine a time, even in her youth, when Jane Marple will have taken to swimming naked in the Thames, but this is exactly what Judith is doing when she hears the murder of her neighbour, Stefan Dunwoody. ![]() ![]() ![]() The only similarities between Miss Marple and Judith Potts, Marlow’s answer to Christie’s crime-cracking spinster, is that both are of a certain age and both like solving puzzles. story is Christie-esque and will appeal to Marple fans, I mean purely in style in that it is an amatuer sleuth led cosy crime mystery, full of surprises and misdirection, and the kind of Agatha Christie style big reveal ending that will leave you with a satisfied smile on your face. ![]()
