Ladies cannot drive sports cars...their wombs will fly away or something!
"Blood at the Wheel" begins with a lady driving a racing car and one of the wheels falls off! Obviously, someone tampered with it and the car hits a tree. But she SHOULD have survived the accident...but didn't. The autopsy explains this...someone strangled her AFTER the accident! However, unlike most mysteries, Phryne has two unusual problems...Jack is very distant and uninvolved compared to most cases AND there is a LOT of sexism. Apparently many of the men in the racing business think women cannot race...as if their wombs will be ejected due to the high speeds!
This is a very good but not an outstanding episode...well worth seeing but not one that is a standout among others. An unusual mystery...and a chance to actually see Dot pretending to be a Russian race car driver!!
