Very interesting historical details of 1928 society. (

"The Last Best Party" of 1928 is being held by the Templar Twins, famously beautiful and rich siblings. But they are widely rumored to be going broke, someone is threatening the life of one of them and two children are kidnapped. Phryne Fisher has to solve a series of riddles while navigating the many, many guests and events of the four day party.
The author's period research is thorough and interesting. However, after reading all these menus and recipes I fail to understand how Phryne can remain so slim, my weight would double just after all the cocktails!. (

Phryne is invited to the Best Last Party of 1928 at the country estate being rented by a pair of golden twins she had known in Paris, twins who had come into a huge inheritance which they seem determined to run through as quickly as possible. As a result, the multi-day party is as sumptuous an affair as can be imagined, but there are snags: two children go missing, Phryne is plagued by a riddler, and, worst of all, someone is planning to kill one of the twins during the event…. I enjoyed this book as with all the other novels in the series, although at times I felt that Ms. Greenwood was simply showing off - all the quotes in French and Latin, untranslated! However, the period details were interesting and the new characters quite entertaining, so recommended. (

Disappointing, the weakest Phryne mystery I’ve read so far. Too few likeable and engaging characters, weird setting, gratuitous orgy scenes (surely Phryne would take Nicholas to her, or his, own private room? I know she’s a liberated woman but she also has standards!) (
