CRIME IN THE BOOK CLUB a fiercely addictive mystery (Detective Markham Mystery and Suspense)

A NAIL-BITING CRIME MYSTERY WITH A HEART-STOPPING FINALE

THIS GRUESOME MURDER IS STRANGER THAN FICTION

Wealthy, rakish Michael Dominguez is found battered to death in a vintage train carriage.

Stuck to his lifeless body is a page from a book bearing the emblem of his local reading group.

Dominguez was the literary golden boy of Calder Vale whose luck suddenly ran out.

The gated community — and exclusive book club — of Grasmere Park seems respectable, but what goes on beneath the surface?

DI Markham has his work cut out to hunt down this killer.

Then Fenella Staunton, a retired academic and member of the book club, goes missing.

IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE WILL KILL TO KEEP THEIR SECRETS SAFE

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.
