A fun, enjoyable read. I’ve wanted to read one of these novels since watching the tv show, and this book definitely lived up to the hype! Phryne is amazing.

I dearly missed Phryne, so I did enjoy this, but it didn't really grip me. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if the audiobook was available. But alas...

As ever, a fabulous romp with Miss Fisher. I found it nigh on impossible to put this book down. As ever I appreciate Greenwood's dedication to including characters from all walks of life in her stories.
Graphic: Death and Murder
Moderate: Child death, Domestic abuse, and Sexual content
Minor: Sexual harassment
