Death by Kitchen Sink by P F Ford

Detectives Slater and Norman receive an unexpected call. The well-heeled residents of exclusive Bishop’s Common keep to themselves and have no need to trouble the police. But not today. Forty-something Diana Woods lies face-down on her kitchen floor, dressed in a slinky black negligee. Stabbed in the back as she stood at her kitchen sink, filling the kettle. Slater and Norman quickly deduce that Mrs Woods must have known her killer. So who did she let into her home that evening? Suspicion immediately falls on her estranged husband. According to the neighbours, he’s a vile bully. Diana was attractive and fun-loving, and for too long, he made her life a misery. But was Mrs Woods the perfect wife she appeared to be? As Slater and Norman dig deeper, they discover that nothing about this case is what it seems. Could they have the wrong man in their sights? This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.
