A PICTURE-POSTCARD HOLIDAY TURNS DEADLY
DI Markham is enjoying a well-earned break in Haworth, home to the famous Brontës.
But murder follows him to West Yorkshire when author Christine O’Connell is found
savagely battered in her holiday cottage.
The dead woman was a leading light of The Brontë Society and far from universally popular.
Then a local psychotherapist’s body turns up in the grounds of the Parsonage Museum and
the hunt is on.
Two more victims follow in quick succession, however the tight-knit community refuses to
give up its secrets.
To add to the misery, his team’s latest recruit proves to be a major headache for Markham in
more ways than one.
At least his old friend George Noakes has the DI’s back. But can their fabled collaboration
survive after Noakes receives an unexpected offer?
WILL THERE BE A PARTING OF THE WAYS?
WILL THIS BE THE CASE THAT DEFEATS MARKHAM?
