Blood and Circuses by Kerry Greenwood

3.0

I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that I appreciate finally getting a glimpse of some human weakness in Phryne, and I don't mean her weakness for pretty young men. In all of the books, Phryne is just perfect and capable of everything and it made it difficult to really like her. In this book, however, seeing a moment of fragility made her infinitely more likable since it showed that she is not just another Mary Sue (which, to be honest, she is).
