'A first-rate puzzle' Sunday Telegraph
Book Description
For Lloyd and Hill, a kidnapping soon becomes a murder investigation . . . In an isolated cottage a woman has been bludgeoned to death; outside, a man has been crushed by a car. That, and a row overheard earlier that morning, is all Detective Chief Inspector Lloyd has to go on. Who is the dead woman? Where's her handbag? If it was a burglary, why the extreme violence? If it was a domestic, why is the handbag missing? Questions without answers. And Lloyd doesn't yet know how deeply involved in the enquiry Judy Hill has become - nor how profoundly it will affect her . . .

I have always been a great fan of Jill McGown but her book Scene of Crime was a great let down to me....
Im delighted to say that Births Deaths & Marriages is back to her excellent form - in fact I would rate it as one of the very best she has written....a 5 star plus book
It is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish....a great mystery ...I had my suspicions - which proved to be correct - but it was still a real page turner and only a very clever mystery writer can have a small list of suspects and yet make the suspense last throughout the book.
I particularly liked the way the reader at times knew more than the police and it was fascinating to watch the police working thru the clues and reaching wrong conclusions ( which anyone would have done with the limited info that they had )
Regular readers of Jill McGown will not be disappointed by this fabulous read and newcomers are in for a treat !

I love the characters in Jill McGown's books and the relationship between all the characters are so well written making them seem like real people although ultimately like all her books the relationship between Inspector Lloyd and Judy Hill is the thread that runs through all her books
The pace of the story is good and you are drawn down dead ends as the book presents different scenarios.
This is the best of all her books

This book is also published under the title "Death in the Family". It's good but I didn't need two copies of it!
