Overall I enjoyed the premise of Cocaine Blues more than the book itself. I definitely was a fan of the setting, 1920s Australia is a setting I have never read before that I can recall.

Phryne Fisher is an independently-wealthy Englishwoman living in the 1920's; despite her wealth, and her love of spending it, she moonlights as a private investigator. She is sent to Australia to check up on and pro...
