Murder in Williamstown
Murder in Williamstown | Kerry Greenwood
4 posts | 4 read
Accustomed to both murder and dalliance, Australia's favourite detective, the inimitable Miss Fisher, returns in a case that will test her courage and judgement to the full. 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. Meanwhile, Dot begins to fear that her fianc, newly promoted Sergeant Hugh Collins, has gone cold on their wedding. And Phryne's clever daughters Ruth and Jane begin their own investigation into suspiciously dwindling funds when they are sent to help at the Blind Institute. None of this is quite enough to prevent Phryne from accepting an invitation to a magnificent party at the house of the mysterious Hong. When the party is interrupted by shocking tragedy, Phryne gathers all of her unerring brilliance to track down the miscreants. With some unlikely assistance, Phryne is in a race against time to save a pair of young lovers from disgrace and death.

Enjoyable story, but not the strongest mystery - Phryne doesn't investigate the murder until well over halfway through the book; in the meantime she and her adopted family investigate some smaller, unrelated crimes.

Phryne provides excellent entertainment as usual, but cold comfort, I‘m sad to say. Tested positive for Covid so I‘m masked up in the bedroom reading. Not feeling very festive, I‘m afraid. Still, the tree looks lovely.

Bk7 of #WinterReadathon & my final book of my #GoodreadsChallenge (110 books in a year that‘s been pretty awful reading wise)is done! The latest Miss Phryne book, it‘s not my favourite but was still an enjoyable read.With multiple storyline‘s involving an opium smuggling gang, fraud at the Blind Institute & anonymous letters, it was certainly a busy novel. But Phryne was her fabulous self & really, that‘s all I need. #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022

Lizpixie @erzascarletbookgasm Merry Christmas to you too Jessie😘❤️💚❤️💚 @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I didn‘t think I‘d hit mine at all this year, it‘s not been a great book year for me, I‘m wishing you over your finish line too👍🤞👍 @MrsMalaprop yep, it‘s the Melbourne one. All Phrynes books are set there, except for the one in Sydney. You should read them, they‘re a brilliant quick read. Especially if you grew up there🙌 2y
