Unnatural Habits

De: Kerry Greenwood

Narrado por: Stephanie Daniel

1929: Girls are going missing in Melbourne. Little, pretty golden-haired girls. And not just pretty. Three of them are pregnant, poor girls from the harsh confines of the Magdalene Laundry. People are getting nervous. 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 put a stop to this and find Polly Kettle before something quite irreparable happens to all of them. It's all piracy and dark cellars, convents and plots, murder and mystery...and Phryne finally finds out if it's true that blondes have more fun.

Well told

This was a good mystery but is also one of the harder ones to listen to inasmuch as it has genuinely abused children. There’s still plenty of humor and escapades but the writer does not shirk from the horrors of captivity, slavery and physical and psychological mistreatment. Of course Miss Fisher does a great deal to try to balance the scales.

Good

The interesting historical aspect is sometimes so difficult to hear. In the case the Laundries that made slaves of girls. Horrible

Witty, daring, charismatic and she has a gun!

Are you in the mood for something a bit exotic and fun. Meet Phryne Fisher.

Unnatural Habits

It was like visiting an old friend. It was good to reconnect with Phryne and her minions. I've been away too long. I hope this series never ends.

Always a fun ride with Phryne

Loved it! Phryne’s adventures are always fun. This one kept me guessing till the end. The ending was somewhat rushed this time. As if the story had meandered here and there (with good purpose) until the writer realized they’d better wrap things up and then the real mystery was solved in two seconds. But I didn’t mind because the story was fun all the way through.
