This isn’t my favorite of this series, but if worth a read if you’re in the series already!

There were two mysteries in the book but one was far too dark for me. I read the lighter hearted mystery and liked it but the darker one I thought was handled badly (given that the characters are fairly over the top/cozy mystery characters)

Yikes, I can see why this book wasn’t used in the tv series. Messy and confusing plot, horrendous characters, and some really weird ethical takes. For example, a kidnapper is really ‘just a good guy who made some poor decisions’ and my personal favourite, ‘give a child molester a woman who looks like a child rather than a real child… yuk yuk yuk. 0.5 only because I still love Phryne and Dot. Other than that this book was a disaster.
