Every evening, come rain or shine, she'd take off her clothes, wrap the cape around herself, and step out of her house feeling a delicious frisson of naughtiness. She'd tell anyone who asked, and many did, that it kept her warm in winter, served as a picnic blanket in the summer, and she could pull it over her head if ever she was caught in a spring shower. It’s a luxurious spot appreciated by tourists and residents alike for its location on a lovely stretch of the Thames, its Georgian and Victorian architecture, gardens, and parks. Bond is joined by Jo Martin (Doctor Who, Back to Life) as empty-nester Suzie Harris who walks dogs for a living, Cara Horgan (The Sandman, Traitors) as the unassuming vicar’s wife Becks Starling, and Natalie Dew (Sandylands, The Capture) as DS Tanika Malik, who has stepped into a new role in Marlow’s police department.

When she stumbles upon her neighbor's murder police don't listen to her cause, murder don't happen in Marlow, so she must try to solve it herself.
