Description:A tidy serial killer? Jayne Padgett is a beloved teacher who’d do anything for her kids. So how does she end up dead, neatly posed at the kitchen counter in a puddle of her own vomit? Not only was she strangled, she was forced to drink bleach. And, stranger still, it seems the killer tried to clear up the mess afterwards.
Despite being a favourite with her students, there’s no shortage of suspects: Teachers with grudges. Parents who thought she was meddling. Half-sisters. An ex-husband. The on-again-off-again boyfriend.
And then another murder with the same M.O.— is someone cleaning up the town? Detectives Markham and Noakes might just have a serial killer on their hands.
