PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- The divine Phryne Fisher is back! Whilst on the way to a Williamstown tryst with a promising new love interest, Phryne hears something decidedly sinister in a seemingly deserted warehouse. It is no surprise when she later stumbles upon a body whilst taking a moonlit stroll with her new paramour. Phryne already has quite a bit on her plate - nasty notes in her letterbox, her adopted daughters discovering something amiss at the local Blind School where they are volunteering, her gorgeous Chinese lover being evasive and acting strangely out of character, Dot's fiance Hugh seemingly going cold on the idea of marriage... But with some help from Jack and other assorted characters, Phryne is not going to let her interest in beautiful clothes, delicious cocktails or gorgeous men suffer as she investigates! Great fun as always, enjoyable and diverting. Lindy
When the redoubtable Miss Phryne Fisher receives threatening letters at her home, she enlists her unflappable apprentice Tinker to investigate. But as the harassment of Phryne threatens to spin out of control, her lover Lin Chung is also targeted.
