I love Phryne Fisher. She quotes Shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes with equal facility, and talks piffle nearly as well as Lord Peter Wimsey himself. She's the sassy, compassionate lady detective of my dreams. In this second novel in the series, we get better acquainted with Phryne's entourage, and get to see her walk a plane as well as pulling a gorgeous Bulldog Drummond stunt in the grand finale. Part of what makes the book such a delight is the fact that it never, ever takes itself too seriously. Oh, and also: I love the attention to detail in evoking the 1920s setting.

Get over yourself, Phryne. You and your sleek and shiny cap of perfectly coiffed black hair. Your typical girl (fashion plate, tango expert, pilot, race car driving, pistol wielding, aristocratic, sex bomb of a detective) meets everyone else who wants to be her or be with her (save the Scots doc who I rather liked).
