A Perfect Match

Summary: Very Very British
Review: This is the second Jill McGown book I've read and the first in the series. I really enjoy her writing and her plots. Many people try to write in the English cozy style, but few are that effective. It's easy to tell while reading this book, that it is written by a British person. The style of writing, the characters and the actual mystery are reminiscent of some of the great British detective writers - Christie, Allingham, Sayers (but set in a more modern setting). Affairs and sexual deviancies are common in Lloyd's and Judy's world. That being said, Lloyd is good character. He's sensitive, a little unsure of himself in his personal life, and he has a conscience. That doesn't stop him from loving his perfect Judy though. Judy is also a good character. She is not afraid to show her uncertainties and her own guilty conscience. This is a really good series, and even though I had figured out the murderer before the book was finished, it was still masterfully written and kept my interest.
