Join us on Monday, October 14 at 6:00pm for a FREE Preview screening of the new miniseries from MASTERPIECE Mystery!, The Marlow Murder Club, at the North Manchester Public Library.  Retired archaeologist Judith Potts's peaceful evening in Marlow is shattered when she hears a gunshot coming from her neighbor's garden and believes that a brutal murder has taken place.  With the local police - led by newly promoted DS Tanika Malik - reluctant to believe her story, Judith starts her own investigation, enlisting the help of unfulfilled vicar's wife Becks Starling.  Judith digs into the alibi of the arrogant owner of the local auction house, but her suspicions ultimately hit a dead end.  An ominous warning message leaves Judith even more determined to catch the killer, and local dog-walker and empty nester Suzie Harris makes a terrible discovery that personally involves her in the investigation.  Samantha Bonds (Downtown Abbey, Home Fires) takes the lead as Judith Potts, alongside Jo Martin (Doctor Who, Back to Life) as Suzie Harris, Cara Horgan (The Sandman, Traitors) as Becks Starling and Natalie Dew (Sandylands, The Capture) as DS Tanika Malik.  Steve Barron (The Durrells in Corfu, Mrs Sidhu Investigates) is the director.  This event is FREE, but space will be limited and RSVPs are required.
