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.
