Melbourne at the beginning of 1928 is suffering through a heatwave. Phryne Fisher, private investigator, becomes involved in two very different cases. Augustine Manifold’s mother is convinced that his death by drowning was murder, not suicide as the police think.

Phryne is a perfect fantasy figure, rich, young, beautiful & clever.

Kerry Greenwood’s descriptions of clothes & food are very seductive & this is an exciting fast-paced mystery for lovers of the traditional crime novel.
