It's always lovely to get a chance to visit Phryne's world, but this is not the most satisfying entry in the series. The main plot is too thin - and the book is bulked out with a subplot involving Tinker (now living with the Fishers for Reasons), the girls and Hugh. Although the series has always been third-person omnipotent, this one feels a bit different because you spend so much time with characters that aren't Phryne. Nice, but not the star turn I was hoping for.
