Praise for earlier Phryne Fisher mysteries... "A charming, sexy, independent, and candid heroine." -Library Journal starred review of Murder in Montparnasse It's 1929, and girls are going missing. Little, pretty, golden-haired girls. Three of them are pregnant, poor girls from the harsh confines of the Magdalene Laundry. 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 find Polly Kettle before something quite irreparable happens. It's all piracy and dark cellars, convents and plots, murder and mystery...and the decidedly raven-haired Phryne finally finds out if blondes really do have more fun. Kerry Greenwood has written eighteen books in the Phryne Fisher series with no sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol. www.phrynefisher.com

Review:
"When thugs assault an unescorted woman on a Melbourne street in Greenwood's entertaining 19th Phryne Fisher mystery set in 1920s Australia (after 2010's Dead Man's Chest), Fisher, who's on her way to her club, comes to the rescue. While no one will confuse this for Dickens, Greenwood's presentation of the horrific conditions in the Magdalen Laundry, an actual place, makes this a refreshing change from the series' sometimes breezy story lines."--Publishers Weekly
"Australia's answer to Lord Peter Wimsey takes on white slavers and the Catholic Church....Among Phryne's pleasantly dashing adventures (Dead Man's Chest, 2010, etc.), this one stands out for its emphasis on sexual orientation and institutional coverups." (starred review)--Kirkus Reviews
