In investigating the poisoning of a young man in a bookshop at the Eastern Market, and the wrongful arrest of one Miss Sylvia Lee, Phryne is plunged into a world of politics, alchemy, poison and chicken soup.

But ultimately it is her stealth and wit which solve the crime and all for the price of a song. . .



Trade Review
From beginning to end, Greenwood infuses her series with evocative settings, multidimensional characters and satisfying mysteries. * Booklist *
Phryne Fisher is gutsy and adventurous, and also well endowed with plenty of grey matter. She has it over Robicheaux and Poirot because she’s drop-dead gorgeous. * West Australian *
