Still Murder

A$24.95

Finola Moorhead

Senior Detective Margot Gorman has been assigned to watch over a raving woman in an asylum. What could a madwoman know? And Peter, the sportsman, can he become a warrior in Vietnam? With a deft hand, the author challenges the traditional stereotypes of a crime novel with questions of politics, patriarchy, sanity and murder. First published in 1991, Still Murder was widely praised by reviewers for being a ‘cross-over’ novel, bringing together literary and crime styles of writing and narrative. This feminist classic edition has an Introduction by Marion Campbell and an Afterword by the author.

2002 | ISBN 9781876756338 | Paperback | 200 x 130 mm | 305 pp

Reviews

Moorhead deftly challenges stereotypes of policing politics, sanity and balance of male-female power.

–Di Hamilton, The Examiner

Moorhead is a fine writer whatever she chooses to write. I love the expansive way that she sweeps together genre, images and ideas in original combinations. In this book, she unites three approaches that could be seen as contradictory into a comprehensive whole. The result is experimental writing that is very accessible to a wide range of readers.

–Me, you, and books

Still Murder is not a conventional narrative, using instead a mixture of fictional diary entries, news clippings, detective’s notebooks and other documents to flesh out its complex, grand story. This could have proven not much more than a quirky experiment but Moorhead is skilled enough to draw these disparate streams and points of view together to tell a fascinating story.

–Reactions to Reading

‘… it is a ripper … I suggest you race out and grab a copy of Still Murder.’  

–Ruth Wykes, Women Out West
