Death in Daylesford is perfect for readers who relish a 1920s-set adventure in which the formidable Phryne Fisher, Dot, war-scarred veterans, and adopted daughters converge on a spa retreat plagued by Highland gatherings, vanishing women, bombs, and a harbour-floating corpse—an irresistible lure for anyone who likes their historical mystery to feel like a brisk, glamorous holiday that suddenly turns deadly.
