murder is an art...

The indomitable Miss Cocks and Ethel Bromley return for book two in the best-selling and charmingly cosy Petticoat Police Mystery Series, inspired by Australia's pioneering policewoman Kate Cocks.

the story...

Adelaide, September 1917

Six months after solving the Dora Black case, Kate Cocks and Ethel Bromley are back walking the beat. Their city is in a dark place. Winter won’t leave, soldiers are returning from the Front, and now a powerful board governor has been found dead in the Art Gallery – dumped beneath a scandalous nude portrait 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…
