Format:Paperback
Ms McGown just gets better and better. Like a latter-day Agatha Christie, she seamslessly weaves suspects, clues and red herrings together in a way that, unlike many of her contemporaries, doesn't seem forced or contrived. Lloyd and Hill are a team who, like Morse, delight and infuriate the reader in equal measure. A superb book, easy to read, engrossing and the work of an author at the height of her considerable powers. Highly recommended.

Superb Double-Storyline Mystery!
24 Feb 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I certainly hope that other mystery buffs discover Jill McGown. Her mysteries are excellent. This particular one is extremely complex. There are two storylines that run side-by-side - one from 13 years ago and one for the present of the book. The same people are involved in both, and the reader has to read and understand both before they can grasp the mystery. This books pits Lloyd and Judy against a true criminal mastermind. There are many twists to the plot, but the main one is that the criminal gets murdered. They find themselves in the unenviable situation of having to solve that murder and an old unsolved one from 13 years before. But never fear, Judy and her trusty notebook come into play and they do end up discovering the killer in both murders. Another twist is that who really cares why the criminal was killed. We find out that he was a truly evil person! Great reading!
Two Killers, A Twisted Trail
23 Dec 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Chief Inspector Lloyd and Inspector Judy Hill find themselves reliving their past when Victor Holyoak is murdered on the night he has opened an expanded factory in the presence of several VIPs.
From the moment Lloyd first sees the victim on the podium he has vague memories of having seen the man with a deep facial scar in other circumstances, but with a different face.
As the investigation of Lloyd and Hill progresses it is evident that no one is sorry the victim is dead, but who is the killer. Thirteen years separate the events who another low life was murdered, but who is the connection?
A truly complex story that will keep you turning the pages for a fascinating read.
