A fine entertaining mystery with Phryne Fisher as a companion. ( )

1928 and a group of soldiers from the Great War believe they are being targeted by a murdrerer - two are already dead - and they need the help of Phryne to discover why and who. Meanwhile chef Anatole Bertrand asks Phryne to find his disappeared fiancee.
An easily read enjoyable mystery.

Pretty good but I really had an issue with the whole threesome bit with her Chinese lover etc. Too offcenter for me. ( )

When Bert and Cec ask for Phryne’s help in tracking down the unknown person who appears to be murdering their friends with whom they had spent a memorable night in Paris in 1918, Phyrne is thrown back into memories of her own time in Paris, also in 1918, and full of events she has spent 10 years determinedly not recalling. At the same time, she is asked to look into the apparent kidnapping of a wealthy young woman whose father, a horse dealer not known for his probity. As if that was not enough, she must cope with domestic problems in the form of Mr. Butler, who objects to her continuing liaison with Lin Chung because the latter is about to get married, and adultery is where Mr. Butler draws the line…. Once again, Ms. Greenwood’s book is light even when dealing with such serious matters as wife-beating and penury, but in this particular entry, we especially learn a lot more about Phyrne’s life in Paris a decade before the events of the series, including how she came to be the fearless and street-smart young woman we’ve come to know and love.
