Crime in the Allotment
(2023)(Book 20 in the Detective Markham Mystery series)
A novel by Catherine Moloney
AN UNPUTDOWNABLE COZY MYSTERY, PERFECT FOR FANS OF RICHARD OSMAN.
When school��s out, headteacher Catherine Leckie loves nothing more than pottering in her garden shed. This time, someone is there waiting . . .
They leave her body lying among the gardening tools. Strangled.
It’s up to Detective Markham to weed out the murderer from a long list of suspects. But the deeper he digs into Catherine’s secrets, the more dirt he finds.
Secret trysts and bitter grudges — the frosty ground of Beauclair Drive Allotments is a hotbed of intrigue.
When Markham’s prime suspect is found pushing up daisies — on the same allotments — he realizes no one is safe from this brutal killer.
Can Markham crack the case before more green-fingered victims die?
Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Frances Lloyd, The Rev Richard Coles, Richard Osman and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett.

THE DETECTIVES
DI GILBERT (“GIL”) MARKHAM
DI Markham is a startlingly talented detective rising through the ranks of Bromgrove CID. He is distant and austere — the product of a profoundly difficult childhood — but has a natural magnetism which inspires loyalty. He clashes with his slippery boss, DCI Sidney, who prioritizes the force’s public image.
DS GEORGE (“NOAKESY”) NOAKES
DS Noakes is a slobbish, uncouth and outspoken Yorkshireman, an object of despair to his superiors. He is, however, also a man of hidden depths, with a sensitive streak and a secret flair for ballroom dancing. Markham sees through his philistinism and they form an unstoppable partnership.
