What links can Phryne Fisher find between the ridiculously entertaining plot of "Ruddigore," the Chinese community of Little Bourke Street, the actors treading the boards of His Majesty's Theatre, and a bizarre on-stage death?
Australian author Kerry Greenwood succeeds brilliantly at capturing the drama behind the scenes of a theatrical production in her 1920s-era whodunit, Ruddy Gore: A Phryne Fisher Mystery, in which her series heroine must solve not one but two murders that occur on stage during a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore. A bonus is the subplot detailing how Phryne met her longtime Chinese paramour, Lin Chung. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Ruddy Gore (Phryne Fisher Series #7)
I wasn't as caught up in this one as with some of the others ' at least, not the mystery, though I am enjoying Phryne's latest lover, Lin Chung. But the whole supernatural aspect is just thin to me, and the plot relies on the reader to make the same mistake as the characters, or it becomes rather obvious. I found bits of it contradictory ' Phryne notices certain characters, but then doesn't factor them into her understanding of what's going on for far too long. And there's the melodrama with the hints that perhaps there is a real ghost…
Not my favourite so far, but still compulsively readable, of course.
