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
