At the end of 1928, the Hon. Phryne Fisher is invited to the "last best party" of the year, a four-day extravaganza paid for by two of the "beautiful people." Unfortunately, with apologies to Batman and Robin, a murderer known as the Joker is planning to spoil the gaiety.

Phryne was wavering as to whether or not to accept the invitation, but after receiving warnings not to attend, of course she does. And it turns out to be quite a shindig, replete with all kinds of musicians, polo, games and costumes, differing each night along with the cuisine. Of course, where Phryne is, death threats arise, not only against her life, but that of the host as well. Phryne to the rescue.

This volume marks the sixteenth published in the United States, each a pleasure to read. Phryne is a thoroughly modern woman, even though she lives in the Jazz Age.
