[Burb: 1929: Girls are going missing in Melbourne. Little, pretty golden-haired girls. And not just pretty. Three of them are pregnant, poor girls from the harsh confines of the Magdalene Laundry. People are getting nervous. Polly Kettle, a pushy, self-important Girl Reporter with ambition and no sense of self preservation, decides to investigate - and promptly goes missing herself.It's time for Phryne and Dot to put a stop to this and find Polly Kettle before something quite irreparable happens to all of them. It's all piracy and dark cellars, convents and plots, murder and mystery .... and Phryne finally finds out if it's true that blondes have more fun]
Always a lot of fun, Phryne is up to her usual antics, trying to get to the bottom of her new investigation... finding young pregnant girls that seem to have gone missing from the Abbotsford Convent/Laundry, along with a young reporter she rescued from danger. Always light hearted with a laugh here and there Kerrie weaves an interesting tale. Dot, along with Phryne will find the clues and although putting themselves in extreme danger will save the day.
Although I've read a few in this series I must confess that since seeing the ABC series of Phryne Fisher, I do read the books like I'm watching the show, picturing all the quirky characters and their mannerisms, which makes the stories more interesting to me.
