Forlagsbeskrivelse af Murder on North Terrace af Lainie Anderson
The indomitable Miss Cocks and Ethel Bromley return for Book Two in the bestselling and charmingly cosy Petticoat Police Mystery Series, inspired by one of Australia's first policewomen. Adelaide, September 1917. Six months after solving the Dora Black case, Kate Cocks and Ethel Bromley are back walking the beat. The city is unsettled. Winter won't leave. Soldiers are returning from the Front with broken bodies and troubled souls. And now a powerful board governor has been found dead in the Art Gallery - dumped beneath a scandalous nude painting that has attracted both pious outrage and record crowds. When Ethel receives an anonymous tip, she's elated at being seconded to the Detective Branch. The murder goes to the heart of Adelaide's elite, where this society girl is in her element. Miss Cocks is left grappling with six o'clock swills, shadows in alleyways and a brutal assault on a schoolgirl. She needs Ethel to catch her killer, and quickly. Alas, murder in Adelaide is never a simple affair . . . Inspired by the true story of Australia's pioneering policewoman, Kate Cocks. 'A captivating mix of history and invention, with an unforgettable real-life heroine at its heart. I loved it' VIKKI WAKEFIELD, author of To the River 'All the genius of the perfect cosy crime: characters to fall in love with and sumptuous attention to detail, blended with gruesome death and bleak truth. Thank goodness Kate and Ethel are back' MICHELLE PRAK, author of The Rush Praise for The Death of Dora Black: 'An outstanding debut - funny, poignant, historically fascinating, and an absorbingly good crime read' PIP WILLIAMS 'The perfect cosy read. How refreshing to read historical crime fiction set in Adelaide during the Great War and focused on women' ANGELA SAVAGE 'Will have you engrossed and addictively flipping those pages' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Armchair detectives will love this debut novel' WOMAN'S DAY
