A good solid holiday read. Feminist enough (in the sex-positive Phrynne Fisher sense) not to make me want to throw it across the room. Mainly a bunch of tropes. The back of the book says "nothing is what it seems" but if you have read the detective genre before then literally everything is what you'd expect. It's fun anyway and its minus the misogyny of 90% of the books.
A bonus for me was the Sydney setting. I love a recognisably Australian setting the more if it's places I have been to. I am going to see if there are more of these because it was fun. It would be even better if it was a little more complex but as holiday reading it is enjoyable and not insulting.
