Always enticing in divine twenties fashion, Phryne, one of the most exciting and likeable heroines in crime writing today, leads us through a tightly plotted maze of thrilling adventure set in 1920s Australia. The divine Phryne Fisher returns to lead another dance of intrigue. Seven Australian soldiers, carousing in Paris in 1918, unknowingly witness a murder and their presence has devastating consequences. Ten years later, two are dead ... under very suspicious circumstances. Phryne's wharfie mates, Bert and Cec, appeal to her for help. They were part of this group of soldiers in 1918 and they fear for their lives and for those of the other three men. It's only as Phryne delves into the investigation that she, too, remembers being in Montparnasse on that very same day.

And the effect this is having on her own usually peaceful household is disastrous.

Pretty good but I really had an issue with the whole threesome bit with her Chinese lover etc. Too offcenter for me. ( )

When Bert and Cec ask for Phryne’s help in tracking down the unknown person who appears to be murdering their friends with whom they had spent a memorable night in Paris in 1918, Phyrne is thrown back into memories of her own time in Paris, also in 1918, and full of events she has spent 10 years determinedly not recalling. At the same time, she is asked to look into the apparent kidnapping of a wealthy young woman whose father, a horse dealer not known for his probity. As if that was not enough, she must cope with domestic problems in the form of Mr. Butler, who objects to her continuing liaison with Lin Chung because the latter is about to get married, and adultery is where Mr. Butler draws the line…. Once again, Ms. Greenwood’s book is light even when dealing with such serious matters as wife-beating and penury, but in this particular entry, we especially learn a lot more about Phyrne’s life in Paris a decade before the events of the series, including how she came to be the fearless and street-smart young woman we’ve come to know and love. Recommended! ( )
