What a surprise. Quite different in the way of cozy wealthy women detectives. Phryne is sassy, savvy and modern. She has few illusions about the world or about herself. She leaves England headed to Australia to find out if a woman is being poisoned by her husband (at the behest of the woman's parents). She arrives and immediately becomes embroiled in the search for a killer abortionist and the King of Snow.
Interesting look at the times, and colorful Melbourne. Will definitely continue the series.
