About this listen

‘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 the wild bohemian life, a carnival of parties and fancy-dress artists’ balls.

One Saturday night, Joan is thrown headfirst into a real crime when she finds Ellie, her neighbour, murdered. To prove her worth as a crime writer and bring Ellie’s killer to justice, Joan secretly investigates the case in the footsteps of Sergeant Lillian Armfield.

But as Joan digs deeper, her list of suspects grows from the luxury apartment blocks of Sydney’s rich to the brothels and nightclubs of the Cross’s underclass.

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?

Julian Leatherdale has included some very authentic social history in this novel, quite seamlessly too. Having lived in a neighbouring area to Kings Cross 30 years ago (not 100 as in this story, but still..) I could definitely hear the echoes. I wasn’t always convinced with Joan’s naive mindset, considering what she was involved with, but this didn’t reduce my enjoyment of this book.
