COMP CLOSED: WIN ‘Scandal in Bohemia’

This week, we’re giving away a copy of fascinating new true crime biography A Scandal in Bohemia – The Life and Death of Mollie Bean by Gideon Haigh.

Creatively ambitious and sexually precocious, Mollie Bean was a poet, aspiring novelist and muse within Melbourne’s bohemian salons in the early 20th century – until one night in 1930 when she was brutally slain by an unknown killer in a laneway while walking home.

In A Scandal in Bohemia, Gideon Haigh explodes the true crime genre with a murder story about life as well as death. Armed with only a single photograph and echoes of Mollie’s voice, he has reassembled the precarious life of a talented woman without a room of her own – a true outsider, excluded by the very world that celebrated her in its art.

This book looks so interesting! And to get your hands on a copy, give us the best caption (in 25 words or fewer) for the laundromat picture above.

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES! WINNER WILL BE EMAILED AND ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
