Here is my review of the latest Phryne Fisher:

Title: Unnatural Habits
Author: Kerry Greenwood
Publication Date: 2012
Category: Mystery

What's it all about? Three young and very pregnant girls go missing from a lying-in home in Melbourne. A pushy and highly ambitious reporter decides to search for answers in all the most dangerous places, only to get abducted herself within 24 hours. Everyone, including Jack Robinson, is decidedly nervous and so Miss Fisher with the aid of her helpful household brood is on the case.

I confess that I am still reading this book so I cannot provide a full analysis, but I can say that I am reading this with deliberately slow relish, like sipping a divine cocktail concoction from Mr Butler, I simply don't want it to end.

Publisher: Allen & Unwin
