Publisher's Summary
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.

Loving the Miss Fisher books!
So far this is my second Phyrne Fisher mystery, and I am hooked. Stephanie Daniel is a great narrator, Kerry Greenwood an excellent author... roll on number three!

Murder mystery plus hypnotism
This is another great story by Kerry Greenwood, read by the imitable Stephanie Daniel. The murder mystery at the heart of it is only one strand, the other being the story of a hypnotist who puts children under a spell, to get them to work as servants or sexual slaves. This is no 'crime comedy' but a tale of dark doings in suburbia. Phyrne sails through it all with her customary panache, but ends up adopting two girls. So she has a heart as well as style - and she lands a handsome young student in bed one night as well. Very well-written and read.
