Pertence a SérieLloyd and Hill (1-3)
Introducing the pairing of Detective Inspector Lloyd and Sergeant Judy Hill, A Trio of Murders contains three classic mysteries in one volume.A PERFECT MATCH: The news of a woman's body found in a boathouse rocks the town of Stansfield. The case appears simple: her last known companion, and prime suspect, is currently missing, presumed fled. But Detective Inspector Lloyd, teamed up with former colleague Sergeant Judy Hill, isn't so quick to jump to conclusions . . . in a murder enquiry, you don't rule anyone out.REDEMPTION: As deepening snow slowly isolates the village of Byford from the outside world, not all is as peaceful as it seems. A murder at the vicarage destroys the calm of the festive period . . . a domestic murder . . or so it appears. Chief Inspector Lloyd finds more than he bargained for in this complex and perplexing mystery, not least keeping control of his relationship with Sergeant Judy Hill.DEATH OF A DANCER: Lloyd and Hill find themselves caught up in the harrowing routine of a murder investigation once again. The victim is the wife of a deputy headmaster of a boys' public school, but they rapidly discover that she was not the upstanding teachers' wife that first appearances might suggest, and the list of suspects for her murder is appallingly long.

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. ( )
