Blood and Circuses: Phryne Fisher #6 (Phryne Fisher Mysteries)

Blood And Circuses  - Kerry Greenwood It's a good Phryne Fisher. The exposition wedged between an opening that was really good, lots of showing not much telling and the start of the story got a bit long. As always Greenwood has a plethora of fringe characters in her plot. This time it's people working in the circuses. Not always done in a way I'm okay with but better than a lot of other writers who tackled that milieu. The hierarchy inside the circus is well established. The villains are obvious but the plots enfold and mesh in the end with a twist for Phryne's love life. She wasn't afraid of clowns. *g*
