AUDIOBOOK
This is the third book in the Corinna Chapman series. I’m a big Phryne Fisher fan and really enjoyed the first two books in this series. I liked that this book did not primarily focus on another person living in the building, but rather Corinna’s negligent parents; however I couldn’t fully get into this plot line. Maybe it’s because I had to listen to it quite disjointedly over the period of a month rather than a few days and I lost my mojo. Anyway, fingers crossed for Book 4.

I'm halfway through and someone just finally died, and we don't even know who it is. I just can't make myself care anymore.

3.5 stars. I very seldom give a low score on books I have finished. I am a Kerry Greenwood fan. LOVED the Miss Phrynne Fisher series from book one. But, I did not like Corinna, or Daniel, or Meroe, or Goss or Jason or any character for that matter. Maybe this was not the right book to kick off the series for me. Too many characters and none left a lasting impression. It was well written, and not a bad read all in all, but to be honest, I struggled to finish this book. I will not bother continuing with this series at this time, too many other books on my TBR pile waiting. For me this just was a cosy "a day in the life of...." book.
