Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

In an English Midlands town, Colin Drummond, known as "the stealth bomber," is in prison for rape. Forty-year-old Detective Inspector Judy Hill took his confession. Now, after three years in prison, Drummond has been released to be tried again. He harasses Hill with phone calls and threats, and she fears that he will add to his total of four rapes. Judy's lover, Detective Chief Inspector Lloyd (both characters appeared in McGown's A Shred of Evidence, LJ 6/1/96), is also involved in the case. Twists and turns and subplots put Drummond's guilt?and Hill's career (and romance)?in doubt. Reminiscent of PBS's Prime Suspect, this is a good work with some funny moments. Recommended for all mystery collections.?Barbara Maslekoff, Ohioana Lib., Columbus

From Booklist

Fans of McGown's stories about Detective Inspector Judy Hill and Detective Chief Inspector Lloyd will thoroughly enjoy this eighth entry in the series, a convoluted story in which Judy must solve a series of rapes, unmask a murderer, and--not incidentally--save her own job. Unlike many writers of continuing series, McGown understands that each novel should read as though it were the first. This adventure is entirely self-contained without being repetitive, and readers unfamiliar with the characters will have no difficulties. Although the plot is clever (and very complicated), the novel, like many British mysteries, ultimately belongs to its characters--not only Hill and Lloyd but also a pompous new detective chief superintendent, a rather kindly pimp, a prostitute, a couple of rape victims, a distraught husband, a bitter ex-cop, and a convicted (though later freed) rapist who may not be what he seems to be. A delight from beginning to end. David Pitt

5.0étoiles sur 5 brilliant story - a must have, Oct. 15 1999
Par Un client
At first I wasn't sure, whether I liked this book or not, because it started of in a way that is rather untypical for Jill McGown. Having a little knowledge of the English legal sector myself, I found the court scenes convincing but wanted McGown to go on, to get to the real story. Well, I can only say that this is clearly one of the best books by Jill McGown. You won't be able to guess who committed the crimes and McGwon is fantastic when it comes to portraying different characters. Chief Inspector Lloyd and Judy Hill have become close friends of mine. A must have.
