Murder at the Old Vicarage Résumé

Murder at the Old Vicarage: A Christmas Mystery Jill McGown

A white Christmas

Deepening snow has isolated the village of Byford from the outside world, but as the locals settle down for the festive period, the peace is suddenly destroyed with news of a violent crime at the vicarage.

A domestic murder

The victim is the vicar's son-in-law, but few are saddened by his death. And although Chief Inspector Lloyd is expecting an open-and-shut case, he is soon confronted with more than he bargained for.

A web of lies

Struggling to keep control of his personal relationship with Sergeant Judy Hill, Lloyd must work his way through a tangle of suspects, each doing their part to disrupt the investigation in this perplexing mystery.

Murder at the Old Vicarage is Jill McGown's classic homage to Agatha Christie, with a decidedly uncosy twist.

À propos de Jill McGown

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.
