It had been a shock, even to Charles, though he had advised Jimmy on more than one occasion to modify his lifestyle. He never had, of course. He had smoked cigarettes and drunk beer and eaten pie and chips while working a ten-hour day at the factory, and then taken work home with him.

McGowan has now opened about a life of abuse long before her alleged sexual assault at the hands of "predator" movie mogulĀ . The murder is still unsolved, but I have been trying for years to remedy that, McGowan writes.

McGowan has now opened about a life of abuse long before her alleged sexual assault at the hands of "predator" movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. In her new memoir, the 44-year-old tells of being raised in the cult by "cruel" parents who forced her into a relationship with an abusive older man. Some of her earliest memories include her father taking a second wife and being savagely beaten for "refusing to take God into her heart", she writes. She also speaks of the the 1997 Sundance Film Festival incident between her and Weinstein, who she brands a "monster", for the very first time.

If ever anyone deserved to die, it was millionaire Victor Holyoak.Holyoak's favorite tactic was to kick people when they were down, then pick them up and kick them again. Now the great man himself was down -- brutally stabbed to death in his penthouse apartment.Detective Chief Inspector Lloyd felt a creepy sense of deja vu. For though certain he'd never seen Holyoak's scarred and bearded face before, he remembered one very like it -- somewhere in the past. Hunting for answers drew Lloyd and his lover, Inspector Judy Hill, deep into the lives of those in the dead man's dangerous orbit: his terrified stepdaughter, her playboy husband, a broken cop, an ambitious hooker, all desperate souls with plausible motives. Yet in the end, Lloyd and Hill would solve two baffling mysteries -- one now, one then, both deadly....
  • I have read most of the Lloyd and Hill series. This is easily the best - because of the plot. the settings and characterisations are already well developed in the earlier books and reaches a peak in this story. I have to say that the later books stretch my credulity just a little too far. BUT - they are still a lot better than many other attempts by others.

  • This book is another great mystery novel by the late Jill McGown.

  • much too long.

  • When I realized that alternating chapters were set in the "present" and in the past (15 years or less) and that the past chapters went into agonizing detail about the characters and how they met, etc. I gave up after only three chapters. It was ok learning about Lloyd and Hill's early relationship, however. A disappointing entry in an enjoyable series.

  • Chief Inspector Lloyd and Inspector Judy Hill find themselves reliving their past when Victor Holyoak is murdered on the night he has opened an expanded factory in the presence of several VIPs.
    From the moment Lloyd first sees the victim on the podium he has vague memories of having seen the man with a deep facial scar in other circumstances, but with a different face.
    As the investigation of Lloyd and Hill progresses it is evident that no one is sorry the victim is dead, but who is the killer. Thirteen years separate the events who another low life was murdered, but who is the connection?
    A truly complex story that will keep you turning the pages for a fascinating read.

  • I certainly hope that other mystery buffs discover Jill McGown. Her mysteries are excellent. This particular one is extremely complex. There are two storylines that run side-by-side - one from 13 years ago and one for the present of the book. The same people are involved in both, and the reader has to read and understand both before they can grasp the mystery. This books pits Lloyd and Judy against a true criminal mastermind. There are many twists to the plot, but the main one is that the criminal gets murdered. They find themselves in the unenviable situation of having to solve that murder and an old unsolved one from 13 years before. But never fear, Judy and her trusty notebook come into play and they do end up discovering the killer in both murders. Another twist is that who really cares why the criminal was killed. We find out that he was a truly evil person! Great reading!

  • Jill McGown had another winner in this entry in her British police procedural series. It's convoluted, full of characters, and backed by a solid plot line that gives us an early glimpse at the Lloyd and Hill relationship. One does need to pay attention to what's going on, but that only makes the book more satisfying. Also worth nothing: the murder victim is a bad guy that needed killin'. Highly recommended.
