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.

>>> "It was, of course, illegal for such cafes to sell wine. God forbid that anyone in Victoria should enjoy themselves after six'o'clock, except in the Melbourne Club. But there was nothing to stop the delighted Signor from giving it away. It was a precious taste of home."
