I enjoyed this one as much as the first one if not more. Another one is waiting for me at the library. I have to read all of these.

Dead Man’s Chest – Kerry Greenwood
Read by Stephanie Daniel

This is the most recent book in the Phryne Fisher mystery series. These books are very enjoyable to read or listen to. Mostly I listen to them. The plots are very predictable, but the characters are lovable. Besides, sometimes it’s good to have a book that’s guaranteed to have a happy ending.

Nice bit of summer fluff- a bit more fanciful than usual. Phryne & Co. head to the seaside and get mixed up in all manner of mysteries and odd characters including surrealists and early filmmakers.

Not the best of the Phryne books but it was pleasant to read about the Australian summer seaside in the mids
