"Fun reading" according to Joy Kramer. This was my first introduction to Kerry Greenwood's Phryne (fry-knee) Fisher. It was such fun I've managed to buy more of her books and have read all but one of them--saving it for the ultimate treat. It's light fare with a heroine who lives with inherited wealth now (she was impoverished), but with an unselfish spirit. She is generous as well as naughty but nice, which makes her fun to be around. I highly recommend Kerry Greenwood's books.. Best in a good series WRBill Greenwood is consistently good - wit, sexiness, and compassion.. Five Stars It was a great book unit the very end held you on the edge of your seat
The investigation leads to a temporary job as a fashion reporter for Women's Choice magazine, Miss Lavender's former employer. It's 1928, and the globetrotting, glamorous Phryne (rhymes with briny) is at home near Melbourne, missing her lover, Lin Chung, who is on a silk-buying trip in China. All rights reserved. Phryne on the rampage makes for fine entertainment all on its own, but Greenwood effectively combines her inimitable heroine's antics with thought-provoking details about the struggles of women in the 1920s, forced to adjust to the loss of the unprecedented independence they had enjoyed during the war.
