Reading: The Green Mill Murder

[white_hart]

Book series often improve as they go on. In this, the fifth of Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher books, the change feels more like a step-change than an incremental change. It's still an enjoyable murder mystery, but it felt less fluffy to me than the earlier books; Phryne's emotions have more depth to them, the characters she encounters have more depth, and the descriptions of the Australian Alps convey a sense of place that was completely lacking from Phryne's previous adventures. My favourite of the series so far.
