In the time Gentill has been writing this series about 1930s fascism in Australia, 21st Century fascism ha been growing in strength. It feels like this is inevitably starting to affect the tone of the books, which is still lightweight, but less silly. Or it might be that Gentill gets an ever more assured grip on her characters. Either way, this book was a pleaure to read, only slightly marred by the far-too-well-worn Edna-Rowly non-romance.
