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

0.5

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.

Phryne Fisher books are like James Bond without the misogyny.  Sexy, decadent, whip-smart and unapologetic, Phyrne always metes out her form of justice to the people who deserve it, in the most stylish way possible.  These are the books I turn to when the patriarchy gets me down.
