Phryne Fisher moves out of the Windsor Hotel and into her new home in St Kilda. Her previous successes make her sought out to help prevent a son from murdering his father. Two strong characters that constantly clash. However, the father dies and the son is accused and arrested. Phryne steps in, reluctantly, to prove his innocence.
I've not read this series in any kind of order and this is the second book in the series. It started out nicely, none of the problems that the later books in the series have, but kind of lost it's direction when the second case, one of kidnapping, was introduced. This could have been more interesting if it had just focused on the one case. When these stories go into multiple story lines things get lost and confusing. Though it was still an interesting read.
