I‘ve just started this book and am thoroughly enjoying the writer‘s storytelling style. Books appear to live on my bookshelves waiting to be found. Not sure when/where I bought this but glad I did. More later...

Having watched and loved the Phryne Fisher on the TV series “Miss Fisher‘s Murder Mysteries”, I decided it was time to read the books. It‘s apparent in this book the author is willing to address subject matter some may consider controversial. I like that in an author.

I‘m reading this book because being confined to home made me peruse my bookshelves for exciting adventure. It took me a chapter to get into the swing of O Hara‘s style - mainly keeping the speaker straight 😃- but I ultimately I fell into the conversational pattern. I like the picture the book provides of the Great Depression and post era and find it synchronous to what‘s happening to the current economy in our country, not to mention the world.

I am partway through and enjoying it as I have others in the “Her Royal Spyness” series. Somehow I had missed this one, so before starting book 13, I decided to go back and see what I missed. The references to historical figures/events always intrigues me and I love the narrator. #rhysbowen #herroyalspyness #naughtyinnice
