Critic Reviews

"Another strong entry in a consistently entertaining series." (Booklist)
"Daniel's reading of Phryne is commanding, sexy, and clever. The secondary characters, from debauched English lords to orphaned children and hearty laborers, also sound exactly right. Finally, the flapper-era music introducing each chapter adds to the charm. One could have listened forever." (AudioFile Magazine)

Ruined by readers ‘singing’

This is one of my favourite Kerry Greenwood books. Stephanie Daniel is a fantastic reader, unfortunately my listening experience was sullied by the fact that she sung throughout the audiobook. It was nothing short of painful and I constantly had to skip forward past this noise. I wonder if there is a version of this story available without Daniel ‘singing’?

Fabulous Phryne

I love the story and most of the narration. A very gifted narrator but didn't enjoy any of the singing.

This is one of the best Phryne books

I love the whole Phryne Fisher series but this has to be the best plot, best food, best decor and best costumes!
