Picture of innocence - Jill McGown

The death of East Midlands farmer and landowner Bernard Bailey from booze, drugs and a dull knife leaves an excess of suspects in this meticulously detailed and lushly atmospheric addition to McGown's series starring British coppers DCI Lloyd and DC Judy Hill.

Suspicion naturally centres on his gorgeous young wife-who married him strictly for the money she would get if she bore him a son. But the dead man's abused daughter has plenty of motive, and a rising TV interviewer who seems intent on ruining Lloyd's career is also a likely suspect.
