The Lady with the Gun Asks the Questions, by Kerry Greenwood

This is not a new Phryne Fisher novel but a collection of short stories, some of which have been recycled. They are set across all incarnations of Miss Fisher but all somehow take place in 1928, which makes it a very long drawn out and busy year for the intrepid sleuth. Of varying lengths and quality, the stories provide an agreeable dip into 1920s Melbourne. They ignore the world of the television series, which is a good thing as it is a very different place. An entertaining place, but not a patch on the world of the books, with its rich and varied cast of characters.
