Perfect for you if...

You enjoy historical mysteries with clever heroines who can move between high society and gritty undercover work without breaking a sweat.
You love atmospheric 1920s Australia and don't mind a murder investigation that takes unexpected turns through circus tents.
You're after a proper page-turner where the detective's wit and resourcefulness matter as much as the puzzle itself.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your mysteries standalone rather than as part of a series with recurring characters and established relationships.
You want a cosy mystery with minimal stakes or danger—this one involves real sabotage, poisoning, and someone facing the gallows.
You're looking for romance-forward storytelling; the circus romance here is subplot, not the main event.

About this book

Phryne Fisher is bored with her orderly life until Alan Lee, a man from her past connected to a carnival, arrives asking for her help. He and his friends want her to investigate strange occurrences at Farrells Circus, where animals have been poisoned and ropes sabotaged. When Mr. Christopher is found dead in Mrs. Witherspoon's boarding house, Miss Parkes, a former circus performer, is accused of his murder. To solve the case, Phryne must go undercover more deeply than before, abandoning her name, title, and comfort. She learns to ride horses and lives among the circus performers. Meanwhile, in Melbourne, young policeman Tommy Harris works with the outspoken Lizard Elsie to investigate the crime and prevent Miss Parkes from being hanged. Phryne must uncover the truth behind the circus mystery before tragedy strikes.
