The latest Phryne Fisher book has Phryne and Dot go to rural Daylesford to visit a health spa for First World War victims.
In this town, they meet two hotels with women running them, two explained “accidental” deaths and missing women.
Meanwhile, in Melbourne, Phryne’s family solve the unexplained death of a girl who goes to school with Ruth and Jane.
This book explores family relationships, loyalties, poor policing, and life in the 1920s.
Slightly slow, at the start I preferred the Melbourne story, but the Daylesford story became more gripping and exciting.
Good resolutions for both stories, would recommend.
