Stuck on stocking stuffer ideas this Christmas? As you scour your brains, the internet, or perhaps even venture outside to actually shop for the perfect little holiday treat, why not consider travel sweets? This fine suggestion comes via the sugary confections Judith Potts favors in The Marlow Murder Club.
“Judith rooted in her bag again and pulled out an old-fashioned tin of travel sweets. ‘Would you like a sweet?’
Antonia didn’t quite know what to say to the question.
‘No?’ Judith asked. ‘Then do you mind if I have one?’ Judith popped the lid of the tin, plucked a boiled sweet from within the icing sugar, put it in her mouth, and sucked on it for a few seconds. ‘Lime,’ she pronounced with satisfaction. ‘My favorite.’”
Apart from the sweets found therein, The Marlow Murder Club book itself is also a great gift for cozy mystery fans, featuring ladies of a certain age on the hunt for a killer in a tiny village. And you know how the old pitch goes: if you liked Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club, you’re sure to love...
Should you prefer to avoid going anywhere this holiday season and observe the whole thing from the bah humbug comfort of your curmudgeonly couch, you are still in luck. The Marlow Murder Club recently aired as a mini-series on PBS!
