This was back to old Phryne for me! Absolutely loved this one! Such a fun read and minimal explicit sex. Also I keep forgetting how invested this cast of characters I am!
This felt like exactly what I wanted to read after this disappointment of Death Before Wicket. Obviously there is some things that I think could be looked at by a sensitivity reader, but overall what a fun ride. And a relief to feel like sex was not everywhere.

The whole series is a bit silly and far fetched, but its entirely entertaining and reminds me of golden age mysteries. Very fun fluff.

I haven't wanted to be a character since I wanted to be Nancy Drew when I was growing up. I would love to be Phryne. She's a wonderful character.

Another fun, intriguing Phryne Fisher novel, though I didn't like it as much as some others.. Again, I listened to this one on audiobook and adore Stephanie Daniel's reading style.

Phryne is at it again. This time, she goes "undercover" to work at a women's magazine that employed the dead women...when she was alive, of course.
This is a good way to introduce a cast of characters and their own personal issues. There are red herrings, but as always, Phryne is able to get to the bottom of things while wearing fabulous clothes and having a grand time!
