In love and in war there is killing, but is it still murder?


Introduction by Marion J Campbell

A nosy nun discovers a body in a park. There is an immediate police cover-up. A Vietnam veteran spies on his old sweetheart. A man tries to rape his wife’s lover. A woman disappears from a loony bin with the help of a street-wise kid (who may be a figment of her imagination).

What is Detective Senior Constable Margot Gorman to make of all this?

An exquisite literary mystery which asks the big questions about men and women, sex and honour, mateship and madness, by the acclaimed author of Remember the Tarantella, Quilt and Darkness More Visible.

‘Still Murder ... will surely establish Moorhead’s reputation as a fine writer’ - Kate Ahearne, The Age

‘I delighted in Moorhead’s intricate and ludic manoeuvres through the genre. Still Murder is an elaborate jigsaw if rival perspectives and rival documentations, and yet unfolds with deceptive ease.’ - Helen Daniels, Australian Book Review

‘Here we have an Australian murder story that is a significant novel in its own right’ - The Sunday Age

‘It will be extremely interesting to see if she perserves with her strongly drawn truly independent woman detective, and how far the two of them can take the investigative feminist thriller into that intriguing space beyond male imitations’ - Stephen Knight, The Sydney Morning Herald
