"Crime strikes close to home in this latest installment...The engaging cast of familiar supporting characters--including Phryne's maid, Dot, and her Chinese lover, Lin Chung--will delight longtime fans..." --Publishers Weekly
The circus is in town for St Kilda's first Flower Festival, which includes a parade. And who should be Queen of said Flowers but the Honourable Phryne Fisher? She has dresses to purchase, cinemas to visit, and agreeable cocktails to drink.
However, one of her flower maidens is unstable and has vanished. So Phryne investigates, trudging through the underworld with the help of Bert, Cec, her little beretta, an old flame from Orkney, the owner of the most exclusive brothel in St Kilda, and several elephants.
But when her own adopted daughter Ruth goes missing, Phryne is determined that nothing will stand in the way of her retrieving her lost child.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [373]-378)
When St. Kilda has its first Flower Festival, the Honourable Phryne Fisher becomes the honorary Queen of the Flowers. But when one of her flower maidens and her adopted daughter Ruth both go missing, Phryne puts aside her duties as queen and takes up her duties as investigator.
