Crime In the Kitchen
(2021)(Book 12 in the Detective Markham Mystery series)
A novel by Catherine Moloney
A THRILLING CRIME MYSTERY WITH AN ENDING YOU WON’T SEE COMING.
A TIDY SERIAL KILLER?
Jayne Padgett is a beloved teacher who’d do anything for her kids.
So how does she end up dead, neatly posed at her kitchen counter?
She was strangled and forced to drink bleach. And, stranger still, the killer tried to clear up the mess afterwards.
Despite being a favourite with her students, there’s no shortage of suspects:
Teachers with grudges.
Parents who thought she was meddling.
Half-sisters.
An ex-husband.
The on-again-off-again boyfriend.
AND THEN ANOTHER MURDER WITH THE SAME M.O. — IS SOMEONE CLEANING UP THE TOWN?
Detectives Markham and Noakes might just have a serial killer on their hands.

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 prioritises 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.
