An apparent suicide and an illegiatimate baby are what Phyrne is tackiling in the hot Melbourne summer of 1929.

I really enjoyed this, possibly because its a return to the OG formula? Phryne and co. solving mysteries! There are call backs to other books in this one which was also cool. Overall a fun listen!

A pleasant way to pass the time. Nothing particularly stood out for me, for good or for bad, but that also means that everything flowed well and nothing felt particularly awkward or out of place (or offensive). That was really what I was looking for, a bit of brain candy.

Murder on a Midsummer Night is, I believe, one of the stories that haven't been made into a tv show. It's quite nice to find one that hasn't! As such, I got to appreciate the delight that is a Miss Fisher murder mystery without already knowing 'who dun it'.

I am a self-confessed fan of these books, and probably also the time period, as I also love a good Poirot! Not that the two could be any more different if they tried. As such, I always expect to enjoy them and enjoy this story I did very much. It is one of the more cleverly put together of the novels, with all the main characters making an appearance at some point, and not one, but two good mysteries to solve.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks to Netgalley for my copy.
