Catherine Moloney writes mystery fiction, and her entire published output belongs to the Detective Markham Mystery series. She started the series in 2018 with A Walking Shadow / Crime in the Choir and has kept up a remarkable pace ever since, releasing 26 books through 2025. Most years she has published three or four entries, and 2019 was a particularly busy stretch with six titles.
The naming pattern of the series is distinctive. After the first few books, nearly every title follows a “Crime in the…” format: Crime in the School, Crime in the Gallery, Crime in the Kitchen, Crime in the Spa, and so on. Each novel places Detective Markham in a different setting, from hospitals and colleges to boutiques and allotments. The most recent entries, Crime in the Salon, Crime in the Tower, and Crime In The Garden, came out in 2024 and 2025.
