So over the winter I went on a Phryne Fisher tear. I’ve now read all the mysteries and they are mostly a lot of fun. There were one or two I found less interesting and one that was just weird. Mostly though they are great fun and have a lot to say about gender, class, and race. Also I love how Phryne creates family out of people who aren’t related to each other and who in some case have no family otherwise. She’s quite marvelous.
