Murder is an art . . . But can Miss Cocks and Ethel draw out the killer? The second novel in the bestselling Petticoat Police Mystery series, perfect for fans of Amanda Hampson and Richard Osman.
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.
