- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
3.0
There are 2 cases here, a murder and a child kidnapping. To make the book full, i guess.
Now that i'm currently bingeing the tv show, reading this i could see that this could be shorter. Bc this series love to narrate the leisurely times in between plot points, usually about Phryne's getting ready, eating, sleeping, and other self care things which i love. But in this book the author also fill in the time when they were waiting for something, like what Phryne and other characters did while waiting, what they talked about. I think it's to establish Miss Fisher's character too, just like her self care things. but that's it. I think that part could have been cut out.
Also i realized that this book can managed to be spicier than tv, although all sex scenes are not on the page, but some of the foreplays are in it, and i think it's just right.
