About this listen

1929: Girls are going missing in Melbourne. Little, pretty golden-haired girls. And not just pretty. Three of them are pregnant, poor girls from the harsh confines of the Magdalene Laundry. People are getting nervous. Polly Kettle, a pushy, self-important Girl Reporter with ambition and no sense of self-preservation, decides to investigate - and promptly goes missing herself. It's time for Phryne and Dot to put a stop to this and find Polly Kettle before something quite irreparable happens to all of them. It's all piracy and dark cellars, convents and plots, murder and mystery... and Phryne finally finds out if it's true that blondes have more fun.

Would you consider the audio edition of Unnatural Habits to be better than the print version?

I haven't tried the printed version, though given time I may very well buy it for my Kindle

What was one of the most memorable moments of Unnatural Habits?

All of it.

Have you listened to any of Stephanie Daniel’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No, but I will be downloading more from this lady.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There are certainly some funny moments in the book, but also some which make me cross at the inhumanity of mankind.

Any additional comments?

A thoroughly good listen, which I had expected having read another of the books in this series. Can't wait to download more.

Brilliant book

This is a mystery with in a mystery with loads of moving parts, as Miss Fisher discovers more about the missing girls, from the slave trade to the Catholic church's treatment of what they thought of as fallen women. Read brilliantly again by Stephanie Daniel.
