Why read it?
1 author picked The Death of Dora Black as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Based on South Australia's first police officer, Kate Cocks, it is a crime story set during WWI and is a fictionalised account but based on research about the period in which it is set. Being set in Adelaide, my home town, one can relate to the different places, streets and characters of the time. Very much unlike the book 'Sheila', there is not a lot of partying going on and scandalous affairs in Adelaide like there is in London during WWI and beyond! If only the people of Adelaide knew what the Royals were really up to!
