‘A Trio of Murders’ is actually the first three of Jill McGown’s crime novels featuring DI Lloyd and DS Judy Hill collected in a single volume. Sensible really, since the novels are strictly chronological and follow each other by only a few days or weeks in time. These are solid competent murder mysteries, with ‘Death of a Dancer’, the third part of the trilogy, as the standout in quality, tension and excitement.

Some of the storytelling is a little dated (these books were written in the 1980s); for example, a significant plot point in ‘Redemption’ revolves a round a character not having access to a telephone because a landline has not been installed yet. Unthinkable today and perhaps difficult for a younger audience to grasp. Several characters smoke, including Hill, and this appears incongruous today (although I accept that in crime novels/films/TV smoking is ten times more prevalent than in the real world).

The developing relationship between Lloyd and Hill is handled well and the reader certainly roots for their success in working out their issues and complex lives.

Not top drawer, but certainly worth the effort. ( )
