'A murder so baffling it might even have stumped Agatha Christie's Miss Marple' Philadelphia Inquirer
Jill McGown was born in Campbeltown, on the peninsula of
Kintyre, in Argyll, but moved to Corby, Northamptonshire, with her
family when she was ten, where she lived until her death in 2007.
Coincidentally, at Corby Grammar School in the early sixties, her
Latin teacher was Colin Dexter, long before Inspector Morse was
policing Oxford.
Jill is best known for her mystery series featuring Chief Inspector
Lloyd and Sergeant Judy Hill, the first of which, A Perfect Match,
was published in 1983. Murder at the Old Vicarage, originally
published as Redemption, is the second Lloyd and Hill book of the
thirteen novels in the series. She adopted the classic traditions
of the genre, but brought a modern twist through her characters and
situations, and many of her peers believe her work deserves to be
better known.
