white_hart | Reading: Death at Victoria Dock

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.
