Publisher's Summary:
When the owners of a struggling detective agency are found asphyxiated in their car, Detective Chief Inspector Lloyd rejects the majority opinion that they committed suicide. His theory that they were murdered becomes even more likely when the doomed couple's only client, wealthy Mrs Angela Esterbrook, is found shot dead. Why would someone with her sort of money employ an untried agency to carry out an investigation? The super rich Esterbrook family is a puzzle that Lloyd and his partner, Judy Hill, must solve before it's too late. But no one, not even the cunning killer, anticipates how the plot will take on a lethal life of its own - beyond everyone's control.

Critic Reviews:
"McGowan always manages to people her books with characters who are entirely believable, fascinating human beings." (The Times)

A different style
The narrative style of this Lloyd-Judy Hill novel takes a bit of getting used to, but I found it just as can't-put-it-down as its predessors. The story is presented in play format with a prologue, five acts, and an epilogue, each divided into scenes. In the Prologue Lloyd is convinced that an apparent suicide is murder. Acts I through V cover the previous eleven weeks during which events leading to the suspected suicide, including several other murders, are investigated by Lloyd and his team. Plot twist after plot twist leads the reader to suspect first one protagonist after another until finally, in the Epilogue, the crimes are tied together and solved. Personally, I felt there were too many twists and false leads; hence 4 stars instead of my usual 5 for a Jill McGown book. It held my attention but is not one that I would read again, nor do I recommend it as a first read of this author. (Teaser: if you believe you've caught the author's faux pas in Act I, Scene X, you'll find it explained in the middle of Scene XXV.)
Five Stars
Terrific plot line and great characters.
Four Stars
Always good
Good structure!!
This is as far as I have made it through the series. I enjoyed all the books so far.......but the further I went the more convoluted became the denouements!! I know other reviewers have commented on the style of this particular story. I thought it was very well crafted. However, the explanation strains my credulity! I will most likely finish the series. Largely because of the characterisations and places. Jill McGown ........thank you!!
A Real Page-Turner!
I consider myself to be a serious devotee of the British mystery and I thought that I had read every plot scenario every devised for that genre until I read the latest devised by Jill McGown for Lloyd and Hill. Although the relationship between them is given very little attention, the dysfunctional Esterbrook family makes up for that shortcoming. Just when you think you have it figured out, she throws you another curve. I read continuously for seven hours and can honestly say that I haven't read a mystery I have enjoyed this much in a long time. Don't miss it!
