Elizabeth Baxter has heard it all. Thieves, rapists, drug dealers, burglars, murderers, abusers and arsonists â" theyâve all confided in her.

Some are harder to shake than others. Thereâs sweet, baby-faced Stella who hurled a brick through her exâs window and threatened to cut off hisâ¦ well, you get the picture. Jack, who burned down his grandfatherâs shed and prized model railway collection. And who could forget Steve, who set up a complex marmite-based distillery in his cell. The moonshine wasnât for drinking though, but for cleaning. He remains, in Elizabethâs professional opinion, Britainâs most fastidious murderer.

Recalling her twenty-five years in Britainâs probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murdererâs Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for societyâs most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse.
