When you go on vacation to a rented house with a staff, you sure don't expect to find the house vacant and the back door standing open!
I downloaded this book from Net Galley, it's published by Poisoned Pen Press. Poisoned Pen is quickly becoming one of my favorite presses. They offer a nice variety of mystery stories, and they are what I would call "cozy" mysteries.
Phryne Fisher is just looking for some rest, not another mystery to solve. But when they arrive at their vacation location and the married staff is missing and the kitchen has been raided, it sure doesn't like anyone is going to get any rest.
Ms. Greenwood gives you smugglers, surrealists, and the usual local odd characters you find in any small town to flesh out her story. There's plenty of action and adventure, more than one crime has been committed, and it's a good read. The characters are fun and have the little quirks that we all have. I'll be looking for more books in this series.
The book is available in hardcover, trade paperback,and large print. It's in your bookstores now, so why not buy a copy, settle back in a comfortable chair and read a good cozy mystery? I'm already looking forward to Phryne's next adventure...
