Crime in the Salon
(2024)(Book 21 in the Detective Markham Mystery series)
A novel by Catherine Moloney
AN UNPUTDOWNABLE COZY MYSTERY, PERFECT FOR FANS OF GRAHAM NORTON’S HOLDING AND RICHARD OSMAN.
It’s the final cut for Bromgrove’s best-loved stylist!
One sleepy Saturday morning, Becca Drew arrives at the Mane Event, the bijou salon where she works. To find nothing is as it should be.
The door’s wide open. But inside the salon’s deserted . . .
Except for Becca’s boss, slumped in a barber’s chair. Handsome, enigmatic coiffeur Andrew Coxleyis dead! He’s been attacked, with his own scissors. His perfect hair pulled out of shape.
Who would do something so vicious?
Becca’s only too happy to tell Detective Markham and his team who she thinks might have done it. She’s always been a bit in love with her boss. But Markham wonders how well she really knew him.
The list of suspects is growing longer by the minute. And whoever killed the silky-smooth stylist isn’t done yet . . .
Can Markham catch the killer before more victims get the chop?
Perfect for fans of Graham Norton’s Holding, Faith Martin, Frances Lloyd, Clare Chase, 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.
Genre: Mystery
