Those who like their mysteries bold and spicy will appreciate the latest adventure of 1920s heroine Phryne Fisher--the most erotic to date. Although Greenwood often describes loves scenes between Phryne and her handsome Chinese lover, Lin Chung, this time the action doesn't stop there. In fact, while taking a holiday at Cave House in Australia's Victorian mountain country, Phryne has her hands full. The racist innkeeper's wife has separated Phryne from Lin, who is placed at the other end of the house. To console herself, Phryne dabbles with a sexy young man. And while stealing a heated moment with Lin in the dark boathouse, Phryne hears a male couple obviously engaged in the same activity right near them. Aside from all the hanky-panky, a mystery does occur: the inn's owner is targeted by an enemy--first with notes, then with lethal traps. And someone is leaving funeral urns for Phryne--what are they trying to tell her? Another Down Under adventure that's definitely a cut above. Jenny McLarin
