When a woman is stabbed to death in an Oxford car park, a revealing photograph on her mobile points towards a crime of sexual passion or revenge. But as DI Holden and her team investigate further, it seems that things might not be as clear-cut as they first appeared. Then another body is found in the Guardian-reading, Labour-voting area of Oxford known as Grandpont, adding a whole new dimension to the case. Now, as the complications pile up in Holden's professional and personal life, finding the killer becomes more than a matter of life and death.

When an old woman dies in a care home, it should be a gentle return to duty for DI Holden. But the evidence of drug misuse suggests otherwise and, as Holden investigates, cracks appear in the emotional fabric of Sunnymede Care Home. As staff, doctors, and family fall under the glare of investigation, Holden finds her own stress levels rising, and then another death follows, this time unequivocally murder. In this, the third of Peter Tickler's Blood in Oxford series, Holden and her team find themselves racing to prevent further bloodshed as a killer runs amok in the grimy setting of Oxford's back streets.

Blood on the Marsh (Blood in Oxford)

<div>When Doug Mullen rescues a mother and daughter from a multiple car-crash on the M40 near Oxford, a video taken by an onlooker briefly turns him into a reluctant hero. But public exposure via the Internet brings its own problems. There is no accounting for who will see you and what that may lead on to. Mullen is a private detective, house-sitter, and reluctant dog-sitter. He is also a bit of a soft touch when he encounters damsels in distress. While trying to support the damaged Natalie Swan and her rebellious daughter Ellie, he finds himself a man in demand. A missing refugee, threatening letters, and an unexpected death are just the beginning. As Mullen tries to meet the needs of all those asking for his help, he--and his westiepoodle Rex--swiftly finds himself sucked into a web of deceit and murder. There are lies to be uncovered and the truth to be found, but sometimes it is hard to know which is better.</div>
