Blood and Circuses: Miss Phryne Fisher Investigates

Undercover work at the big top!

Phryne Fisher is bored. But is she tired enough to leave her identity, home and family behind to join Farrell's travelling circus? Strange things have been happening there and when Phryne is asked by her friends Samson the Strong Man and Doreen the Snake Woman to help, curiosity gets the better of her.

Peeling off her wealth and privilege, Phryne takes a job as a trick horse rider, wearing hand-me-downs 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 . . .
