Just finished "Cocaine Blues", by Kerry Greenwood, which is the first book in the "Phryne Fisher" detective series. I found this to be mediocre at best, with (for me) far too much time devoted to minute and pointless descriptions of what people were wearing. I also found the behaviour of the protagonist to be unrealistic - casual sex is more the attitude of a 21st century young woman than one of the 1920s. Perhaps the book would appeal more to a female reader, but it's not my cup of tea at all. Disappointing.
