Crime in the High Street
(2023)(Book 19 in the Detective Markham Mystery series)
A novel by Catherine Moloney
AN UNPUTDOWNABLE COZY MYSTERY, PERFECT FOR FANS OF RICHARD OSMAN.
Welcome to The Copse. A sleepy little cul-de-sac where nothing ever happens. Until . . .
Sheila Craven, the widow at number 12, is found dead in her armchair. Smothered with one of her Liberty cushions.
Detective Markham and the gang are on the case, following a twisty trail that leads straight to the high street — and Sheila’s favourite Italian restaurant.
But just when they think they’ve cracked the case, a second victim is found, floating in his own fishpond.
Markham and his team realize they have a serial killer on their hands.
And it’s a race against time to stop them before more locals 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.
