plax1612 's review for:
Death in Daylesford
by Kerry Greenwood
My first introduction to Phryne Fisher came through the TV series, but that led me to read as many of the books as I could get my hands on. Phryne's character is so strong, as are those of the supporting characters, that the transition was easy for me.
From the first few paragraphs of this book I knew that the language was going to hook me as much as the characters and the setting. I love a well-written book which uses language to convey setting as well as emotion, and that's key here. I enjoyed experiencing some new words and the plot kept me turning the pages.
Interesting structure, in that Phryne and Dot head into the Australian mountains to solve a series of crimes, while the gang at home-- Hugh Collins, Tinker, and the girls-- solve another one on their own. It was all very clever and enjoyable.
