The Joire de Vivre of Phyrne!

Murder in Williamstown (Phyrne Fisher #22) by Kerry Greenwood     

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Honourable Phyrne Fisher, glamorous private investigator, is visiting Williamstown for a lingering dinner with Jeoffrey Bisset, a rather dishy lecturer in Classics and English. Somehow she finds herself in the midst of unseemly happenings. Phyrne decided not to drive over there but to take the ferry and then train to this out-of-way suburb on the other side of Port Philip Bay. These events include the finding of a smashed opium pipe in the botanical gardens, a scream coming from a warehouse, and then later the drowned body of an unknown Chinese worker. 

Back home, Phyrne’s been receiving cards through her letterbox branding her with rather harsh words!

Meanwhile Dot’s worried because Hugh seems so distant. Hmm!

Ruth and Jane are doing well at school and have been assigned to work at the Institute for the Blind over the next couple of weeks as part of their school’s Good Works program. The girls have really flourished. Although Jane has been helping the Institute's accountant and has found something suspicious (of course!)

That’s just for starters.

As always an evening spent with Phyrne has plenty of action, fabulous understatement, and ironic sense of play.

As always the cover art is a delight.
