"One of the most exciting and dangerous of the adventures into which Phryne's fabulous and risky lifestyle has led her" â??Kirkus Reviews

It's Christmas, and Phryne has an invitation to the Last Best party of 1928, a four-day extravaganza being hosted at the Werribee Manor House by the Golden Twins, Isabella and Gerald Templar. Phryne is of two minds about going. But when threats begin arriving in the mail, she promptly decides to accept the invitation. No one tells Phryne Fisher what to do.

At the Manor House, she is accommodated in the Iris room. At the party she dallies with two polo-playing women, a Goat lady (and goat), a large number of glamourous young men, and an extremely rude child called Tarquin.

The acolytes of the golden twins are smoking hashish and dreaming. The jazz is hot and the drinks are cold. Heaven. Until three people are kidnapped, one of them the abominable child. Phryne must puzzle through the cryptic clues of the scavenger hunt to retrieve the hostages and save the party from further disaster.… (mehr)

Very interesting historical details of 1928 society. ( )

Delightful as ever. What a great series. ( )

"The Last Best Party" of 1928 is being held by the Templar Twins, famously beautiful and rich siblings. But they are widely rumored to be going broke, someone is threatening the life of one of them and two children are kidnapped. Phryne Fisher has to solve a series of riddles while navigating the many, many guests and events of the four day party.
The author's period research is thorough and interesting. However, after reading all these menus and recipes I fail to understand how Phryne can remain so slim, my weight would double just after all the cocktails!. ( )

Phryne is invited to the Best Last Party of 1928 at the country estate being rented by a pair of golden twins she had known in Paris, twins who had come into a huge inheritance which they seem determined to run through as quickly as possible. As a result, the multi-day party is as sumptuous an affair as can be imagined, but there are snags: two children go missing, Phryne is plagued by a riddler, and, worst of all, someone is planning to kill one of the twins during the event…. I enjoyed this book as with all the other novels in the series, although at times I felt that Ms. Greenwood was simply showing off - all the quotes in French and Latin, untranslated! However, the period details were interesting and the new characters quite entertaining, so recommended. ( )

Disappointing, the weakest Phryne mystery I’ve read so far. Too few likeable and engaging characters, weird setting, gratuitous orgy scenes (surely Phryne would take Nicholas to her, or his, own private room? I know she’s a liberated woman but she also has standards!) ( )
