‘Crime’s not a woman’s business, Joanie. It’s not some bloody game.’
In the murky world of Kings Cross in 1932, aspiring crime writer Joan Linderman and her friend and flatmate Bernice Becker live a wild bohemian life. Through a carnival of parties and fancy-dress balls, Joan also dates her devoted boyfriend Hugh, a war-wounded, communist poet.
One Saturday night, Joan is horrified to find her neighbour, Ellie, dead. Determined to prove her worth as a crime writer and bring Ellie’s murderer to justice, Joan decides to investigate the killing alongside Sergeant Lillian Armfield. But as Joan digs deeper, the list of suspects grows longer, involving the dangerous underbelly of the Cross.
Death in the Ladies’ Goddess Club is a riveting noir crime thriller with more surprises than even novelist Joan bargained for: blackmail, kidnapping, drug-peddling, a pagan sex cult, undercover cops, and a shocking confession.
From the shadows of bohemian and underworld Kings Cross, who will emerge to tell the real story?
