Join acclaimed historian turned novelist Lainie Anderson, in conversation with Victoria Purman, as she discusses her latest novel The Death of Dora Black.
The Death of Dora Black is a charming, uplifting cosy murder mystery inspired by the true story of Australia’s pioneering policewoman Kate Cocks.
No stranger to the dark side of Adelaide, Miss Cocks wrangles wayward husbands into repentance, sees through deceptive clairvoyants and rescues young women (whether they like it or not) with her five-foot cane and sassy junior constable Ethel Bromley at her side.
When shop assistant Dora Black is found dead on a city beach, Miss Cocks and Ethel are ordered to stay out of the investigation and leave it to the men. But when Dora’s workmate goes missing soon after, the women suspect something sinister, and determine to take matters into their own hands. After all, who knows Adelaide better than the indomitable Miss Cocks?
