Publisher's Blurb
A young woman is found murdered in a small English town, while the main suspect has spent the night drinking, and denies any involvement. It looks like an easily solved case for Detective Inspector Lloyd and Sergeant Judy Hill, but it soon proves more complex than they originally thought.

A very interesting discovery Kerrie. Thank you for sharing this información.
ReplyDeleteKerrie - A fine choice for Forgotten Books :-). I admit I haven't read this one, but you reminded me of the series and I appreciate that. I'm going to have to see if I can find one of those....
ReplyDeleteI think I read everyone of her books. Thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteSheesh. Not only am I stranger to McGown, but to every other author on that list.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to learn that McGown has passed away--and not at a very great age either. I think I've read all of the books in her Lloyd/Hill series--they're quite good, with some very interesting twists along the way. (If you haven't read any of them before, I recommend trying to read them in order because Lloyd & Hill's relationship grows over the course of the books.)
