The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher is feeling dull. But is shebored enough to leave her identity, her home and family behind and join Farrell’s Circus and Wild Beast Show? There have beenstrange things happening at the circus. And when Phryne is asked by her friends – Samson the Strong Man, Alan the carousel operator and Doreen the Snake Woman – to help them, curiosity gets the better of her. Peeling off her wealth and privilege, Phryne takes a job as a trickhorse-rider, wearing hand-me-down clothes and a new name. Someone seems determined to see the circus fail and Phryne must find out who that might be and why they want it badly enough to resort to poison, assault and murder. Diving into the dangerous underworld of 1920s Melbourne and the wild, eccentric life under the big top, Phryne proves her courage and ingenuity yet again, aided only by her quick intelligence, an oddly attractive clown, and a stout and helpful bear.

I thoroughly enjoyed this great book by Kerry Greenwood. I found it hard, initially, to remember all the characters - there were so many of them - but once I got into it I was fine, and loved the story set largely in a circus, with Phryne doing one of the acts, riding horses and doing various tricks. Stephanie Daniel gave a superb reading, doing the many voices very well.

This is a well written and narrated superbly story. I have heard all 7 and this one was the most interesting. The story gives our heroine substance and as the reader you feel empathy.
Definitely should be listened by every Miss Fisher fan.
