One Final Bonus – Kerry Greenwood Quote
“Come to the jacaranda tree at seven o’clock and you will hear something to your advantage. Destroy this note.’

Only a Gothic novel protagonist would receive that and say, ‘Goodness, let me just slip into a low-cut white nightie and put on the highest heeled shoes I can find,’ and, pausing only to burn the note, slip out of the hotel by a back exit and go forth to meet her doom in the den of the monster – to be rescued in the nick of time by the strong-jawed hero (he of the Byronic profile and the muscles rippling beneath the torn shirt). ‘Oh, my dear,’ Phryne spoke aloud as if to the letter-writer. ‘You don’t know a lot about me, do you?”
― Kerry Greenwood, Death Before Wicket
