Review: I do love Miss Fisher. I adored the tv series, and for once came to the books back to front. I was very surprised (though I shouldn't have been) to discover a Miss Fisher in the writing who was harder, in a way, and with supporting characters that were also harsher, no less endearing but more realistic and less romantic. Jack, for example, the detective of gorgeousness from the tv series (that always reminds me of Moonlighting - showing my age here) is not a detective of gorgeousness in the books. He's a homely man, a sound copper, but there's nothing in the least bit sexy about him. Will that change - one of the reasons I know I'll read on to the end. I enjoyed this. I raced through it. It delivered exactly what I wanted. More of Phryne. A nice crime that wasn't too complicated. Lots of colour. A few bawdy laughs. And a few more waifs and strays added to the permanent cast. It's not one of those books that keep you thinking or musing, but it leaves you with a nice satisfied smile at the end of it and you know, that's surprisingly rare - or so I've found. Just what I needed.
