From the author of the bestselling Phryne Fisher Series comes Ruddy
Gore, the next historical mystery featuring the unstoppable, elegant
amateur sleuth. Can Miss Fisher use her theater ties to take care of a
phantasm haunting a Gilbert and Sullivan show?

theater world and the opportunity it affords to observe Phryne and Lin
Chung's romance from its inception.--Booklist

Running late to the Hinkler gala performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's
Ruddigore, Phryne Fisher meets some thugs in a dark alley and handles
them convincingly before they can ruin her silver dress. Phryne then
finds that she has rescued the handsome Lin Chung and his grandmother
and is briefly mistaken for a deity.
Denying divinity but accepting cognac, she later continues safely to the
theatre. But it seems the lead is dressed for death, as the performance
is interrupted by a most bizarre death onstage. What links can Phryne
possibly find between the ridiculously entertaining plot of Ruddigore,
the Chinese community of Little Bourke Street, and the actors treading
the boards of His Majesty's Theatre?
Drawn backstage and onstage, Phryne must solve an old murder, find a new
murderer and of course, banish the theatre's ghost--who seems likely to
kill again.
