Meet the cast of The Marlow Murder Club
The murder mystery series is now making its way to the US, but who stars in it?
It certainly is the season for a touch of murder mystery and although The Marlow Murder Club aired on the BBC in the UK earlier this year, the drama is now making its way Stateside.
Airing on PBS in the US from Sunday 27th October, viewers are in for a treat, especially seeing as the series comes from Robert Thorogood, who also created hit BBC series Death in Paradise.
The drama has been adapted from the book of the same name and follows three women in the town of Marlow who team up to solve a murder.
Not only do we know that filming for season 2 is already well and truly under way, but The Marlow Murder Club also boasts some stellar acting talent in the form of leading women Samantha Bond, Jo Martin and Cara Horgan.
