Murder on North Terrace is the second book in Lainie Anderson’s Petticoat Police Mystery series, inspired by the true story of pioneering Australian policewoman Kate Cocks. Set in Adelaide in September 1917, the novel follows Kate Cocks and Ethel Bromley as they investigate the death of a powerful board governor found beneath a scandalous painting in the Art Gallery.

Blending cosy crime, Australian history and early women-in-policing fiction, this is a good pick for readers of historical mysteries, Adelaide fiction, feminist crime fiction and Australian local-history novels.
