A good entry into the Lloyd/Hill series.....but not one of the best. The story concerns the seemingly unconnected murders which began as a suspected mugging for the bingo winnings of a local woman. Two more murders follow and there seems to be a connection to the gambling halls owned by one of the characters.

The thirteenth in the Lloyd and Hill series, and another good one. A devilishly complicated plot where I was convinced I knew exactly who the murderer was at all times, I just had a different suspect every ten pages. I don't think McGown's published the next book in the series yet, but I'll be watching out for the hardback.

If you enjoy Masterpiece Theatre's Mystery series, you'll like this. It reads like a script of one of those movies. Good characters, enough red herrings and twists to keep you guessing, and Simon Baker (The Mentalist) would be perfect in the role of Tony Baker. Highly enjoyable read.

I think this may be the last one from this author. I will really miss this series, there's not a bad one in the bunch. I'll miss Lloyd and Judy for a while.

my first Jill Mcgown. It was an ok read but I can't say it was the most compelling read ever.
