These books never disappoint. Not only was this book delightful, it was also a quick enough read that it allowed me to finish the long weekend having read more books than my 11 year old. If you ask her, she'll say my lack of enforced bedtime allowed me to win. That might be true. I still won. ...
Phryne rescues a Chinese man and his grandmother from some thugs and gathers another gentleman admirer, before going to a theatre production of Gildert and Sullivan's Ruddigore where first one and then the next actor falls prey to a mysterious illness, which then kills one.

She then finds that she has rescued the handsome Lin Chung, and his ...
