The Joanna McKenzie series consists of three mystery novels published between 1994 and 1998. Dressed to Kill, Prospect of Death, and Music in the Blood follow a female detective through criminal investigations set in 1990s Britain. The series gave Duffy an opportunity to write from a professional law enforcement perspective.

The trilogy is shorter than the Langley-Gillard series but shows Duffy’s range within the British mystery genre. McKenzie brings a different energy as a protagonist: trained, professional, and working within the system rather than outside it.
