This series did not start erotic at all---but, it seems, that was a loooooong time ago. One would think I'd be way too old to be engrossed by this. But, within an erotic supernatural world, it is amazing how much can be said about interpersonal relationships, racism, sexism, homophobia, communication and miscommunication, power and lack of it as experienced in our "real" world. I remain fascinated.
I have now started Death at Victoria Dock (Phryne Fisher #4) by Kerry Greenwood. Driving innocently home (well, as innocently as Phryne does anything), Phryne's car windshield is shot apart (disintegrated) by a bullet. She stops and quickly discovers a young man dying not far from her car, also shot. The next morning a rich businessman stops by to ask Phryne to find his daughter. Now she has two mysteries to solve.
