Phryne is back in a thrilling mystery that takes her into dark convents and dank cellars in a frantic search for missing girls. 1929: Girls are going missing in Melbourne. Little, pretty golden-haired girls. And not just pretty. Three of them are pregnant, poor girls from the harsh confines of the Magdalen Laundry. People are getting nervous. Polly Kettle, a pushy, self-important Girl Reporter with ambition and no sense of self preservation, decides to investigate--and promptly goes missing herself. It's time for Phryne and Dot to put a stop to this and find Polly Kettle before something quite irreparable happens to all of them. It's a tale of piracy and dark cellars, convents and plots, murder and mystery . . . and Phryne finally finds out if it's true that blondes have more fun. 'Elegant, fabulously wealthly and sharp as a tack, Phryne sleuths her way through these classical detective stories with customary panache.' - THE AGE.

First of these I've read. A bit frothy and fantastical but if you are in the mood for a light and stylish who dunnit Phryne's your girl.

Another wonderful book from Kerry Greenwood. After such a break between novels, it was fantastic to dive into the world of Phryne Fisher again, complete with historical figures and landmarks as well as the usual mix of quirky characters that you expect to find in a Miss Fisher novel. My only complaint is that I managed to devour it in 2 days, and may have to resort to re-reading older books in this series to keep my hunger satisfied.
