Given Dot's character throughout this series, I am surprised by how Ms. Greenwood depicted her in this book. Dot is supposed to be this good catholic with high moral who is very proper. From the beginning Dot seems to accept Miss Fisher sleeping around, and while unlikely, it is at least plausible. However (view spoiler)[ when Miss Fisher decides that she will commit adultery, you would think that would cross a line. That is literally breaking one of the 10 commandments. (Speaking of commandments, "thou shalt not kill" could probably be the subject of a another rant here...) If Dot's character is somehow okay with Miss Fisher breaking commandments, there needs to be more of an explanation than the standard: Miss Fisher can do no wrong. 
 On that note, I was happy to see Mr. Butler give notice, and really hoped he would follow through with it. I thought it was perfectly reasonable of him to say, there are certain activities that I cannot condone in a boss and this is one of them. (hide spoiler)] 
 Other than that, the story was mildly amusing. Not something I'll read more than once, but a good beach book.
