"...in the kitchen, in the hall, up against the wall. Right now, I want all of you!"
I'm big fan of the Miss Fisher Mysteries TV series. I have really enjoyed the tight cast of characters, the sets...the fabulous costumes! and the fun stories, especially the relationship between Phyrne and Jack and the liberating female moments that are peppered throughout.
Crypt of Tears does allow for the reunion of Jack and Phryne, but I missed her interaction with the rest of the tv cast including Dot and Mr.Butler.
This story takes us to both Palestine and London. Phryne is on a plane, train, camel and automobile...and she is her usual fast talking naughty self. It is filled with the usual witty banter..."to butter me up?" "Like a crumpet!"- Phryne "I was dancing with the undesirables and I found several of them desirable."-Phryne "She has no respect for the rules"-Lofthouse "That's because they tend to be written by men."-Phryne In typical Phryne fashion she solves a mystery to help someone out, all the while getting in to her usual mischief and bickering with Jack. The invention of a mythical spider finally gives us some satisfaction. Not to be missed if you are a Miss Fisher Fan!
