À propos de cet audio

In Phryne's third adventure, Phryne is off to Ballarat for a week of fabulousness, but the sedate journey by train turns out to be far from the restful trip she was planning. What was planned as a restful country sojourn turns into the stuff of nightmares: a young girl who can't remember anything, rumours of vile white slavery, and the body of an old woman missing her emerald rings. And Phryne is at the centre, working through the clues to arrive at the incredible truth before another murder is committed. Fortunately, Phryne can still find a little time for a discreet dalliance and the delicious diversion of that rowing team of young men.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This latest mystery to feature the irrepressible Phryne Fisher, Melbourne's uninhibited 1920s private detective, begins with Phryne saving the lives of a group of travelers when someone chloroforms their train compartments. Unfortunately, an elderly woman is discovered missing and then found murdered. It's left to Phryne to unmask the killer while rescuing a young girl who suffers from amnesia. This series continues to offer a feisty main character and a vividly created and definitely unusual historical setting - the flapper Down Under." ( Booklist)

This was one of the first audiobooks I picked up, several years ago. I gave it a second listen tonight at work. I really enjoyed the Miss Fisher TV show, so I thought, this should be nice.
I liked it, but obviously there are differences between the novels and the TV show. Here, Ms. Fisher is a little sharper or more cynical, maybe, and while the "romance" is mostly off screen, in the novel, it gets right into it. Which is not really my thing, but that's okay.
It's a fun sort-of classic style mystery, with some character development from the previous book.
