Blue Murder by Cath Staincliffe

Janine Lewis is Manchester's first female Detective Chief Inspector. She's also a single mother to three demanding children, and pregnant with a fourth. Her husband left her on the morning she got the promotion after she discovered him in bed with the cleaner. But Janine fought hard to get to the top, and she's determined to prove herself, especially as she's in charge of her first murder case. The deputy head of a local high school was left to die face down in the mud of his allotment, his stomach slashed. The prime suspect is on the run and an elderly dying man and a seven-year-old child are the only witnesses. This isn't going to be an easy case to crack for the new DCI...Blue Murder blends the warmth of family life with the demands of the police investigation in a gripping new crime thriller.
Cath Staincliffe's debut novel was short-listed for the Crime Writers Association's John Creasey Award for best first crime novel and her work has also been serialised on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour. She lives in Manchester, the background for many of her best-selling stories with her partner and their three children.
