Bond teased to PBS about the upcomign season, saying:
“Well, Season 1 is one story, and Season 2 isthreestories. You’ve got a posh murder that happens at Sir Peter Bailey’s house, which is an incredible journey of how the women, primarily Judith, solve that. And then there’s a mystery set in a more modest bit of Marlow where one murder happens right at the beginning and then another body is discovered, and might there—or mightnotthere—be a link? And the third one is at the sailing club. The wonderful thing aboutThe Marlow Murder Clubis that the whole thing is on location in Marlow. So when you go to the rowing club, it’s in Marlow; when you go to the sailing club, it’s in Marlow."
