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

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.

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.
