Reading: Death at Victoria Dock

[white_hart]

In her fourth appearance, Phryne Fisher finds herself mixed up with Latvian anarchists in the quest to find two men who shot out the windscreen of her Hispano-Suiza as she was driving home one night, and also shot a beautiful young man who died in her arms when she got out of the car to investigate. At the same time, she is asked to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl from a wealthy Melbourne family. With the help of her faithful assistant, Dot, her adopted daughters Ruth and Jane (I do wonder if their names are a Brat Farrar reference) and the faithful Communist taxi-drivers Bert and Cec, Phryne unravels both of these mysteries with typical aplomb. Entertaining fluff as always.
