4.0 out of 5 stars Jill McGown writes a Good Mystery., January 28, 2003

This review is from: The Other Woman (Mass Market Paperback)

If you like British procedurals with a good twist, you can't go wrong with Jill McGown and her two policemen, DCI Lloyd and DI Judy Hill. I feel a responsiblity to write a bit more in this reveiw because no one else has reveiewed this book on Amazon, and I would like to get people interested in Jill McGown's books. This particular book is the seven or eight in the series and I think a very good example of Ms. McGown's writing style. As I've been reading I've been watching Lloyd and Judy's relationship go through various stages of development. In this one, Judy has been asked by her superiors to move to her own district so she has recently moved out of Lloyd's flat. They are still together, but the separation has caused some difficulty in their relationship. This book has two storylines running concurrently. A serial rapist in Judy's district and a murder on an English football field in Lloyd's. The two cases may be connected, and Lloyd has seconded Judy to help him solve his murder. Together they uncover all kinds of webs of deceipt, fraud, extra-marital affairs, and unexplained traffic infractions. Give this book a try, I think you'll enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars There's more tension in this book than in the previous ones in this series, January 31, 2012

I've been reading the books in this series, in order. They're all very well plotted and well-written, including this one. Spoiler: But this one includes the long and detailed thoughts of a serial rapist, as he lies in wait to attack Judy Hill herself and make her his fifth victim. Very dark and very intense. If you like "cozies", this book is definitely not for you.
