1950s, Australia, Mystery, Medical, Complex Relationships

I've been thoroughly enjoying this wonderful mystery series--another from Australia that just gets it right. Great characters, lots of focus on clues and getting to the truth, and a fun time/setting. At times the relationship between Dr. Blake and his housekeeper, Jean, drove me crazy (get together, already!) but just like Phryne and Jack in the Miss Fisher mysteries, it's that tension and suspense that keeps you watching.
