Phryne has been hired by a cruise line to discover which of several possible habitual passengers is stealing expensive jewelry from other passengers. Reimbursing the passengers for the jewelry that was stolen is mounting up. I loved that the cruise was going to New Zealand and that the passengers were all wonderful and interesting characters. Their interactions were fascinating. I was surprised that the murder happened late in the novel but, in some ways that was good because we knew the suspects by that time. Enjoyable as usual.
I have now started The Faerie War by Rachel Morgan. I still stay somewhat ambivalent about this YA series. It is inventive and certainly has a good plot, but the teenage angst is sometimes really too much for this old woman. "There are IMPORTANT things to think about, girl. Stop thinking about boys!" 😈
