A review by lisab1991
Blood and Circuses by Kerry Greenwood
3.0
“‘Who’s Phryne Fisher?’ asked Tommy from the floor.
‘An interfering woman,’ said Robinson. ‘A very clever, very beautiful, very rich, interfering woman. And I’m afraid,’ he added, ‘that this time she might have got herself in too deep.’”
3,5 ⭐️. I quite liked this Phryne Fisher mystery, unlike a lot of reviewers it seems. This story was quite unlike the others, because we get to see a Phryne who’s vulnerable and a lot less self-assured. Phryne goes undercover as Fern Williams and joins Farrell’s Circus as a trick rider without her rank or money to back her up. I’ve always been fascinated by circuses, so I guess that accounts for it mostly. I liked most of the supporting cast, like Mr. Burton, Jo Jo and the bear. And of course, our ever trustworthy ✨Jack✨ is there to solve the murder and come to her rescue.
Ah, Jack, our “affable policeman. He had brown hair, brown eyes and utterly undistinguished features, but his voice was deep and pleasant.” And let’s not forget that he “had a peculiarly beautiful smile, which invited trust.”
I’m looking forward to Ms. Fisher’s next adventure!
