Introducing the Honourable Phryne Fisher

By Kerry Greenwood

Book Overview

Glamour, grit, and a pistol in her purse--meet the Honourable Phryne Fisher, the unflappable sleuth redefining 1920s detective fiction.

If you crave historical mysteries with brains, flair, and fiercely independent heroines, this is where your obsession begins. Introducing the Honourable Phryne Fisher brings together her first three page-turning cases in one irresistible volume--the perfect gateway to the beloved series that inspired the hit TV show Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.

Cocaine Blues: Tired of London high society, Phryne Fisher heads to Melbourne to try her hand at being a lady detective and quickly finds herself entangled in a dangerous case involving drugs, deception, and debutantes.

Flying Too High: Phryne investigates a suspicious death and a high-stakes kidnapping while defying expectations in the skies--and on the ground--with her usual fearless flair.

Murder on the Ballarat Train: A routine rail journey turns deadly when Phryne uncovers a sinister crime, a missing memory, and a trail that leads deep into Australia's criminal underworld.

Miss Fisher is a Hoot!!!!

This series is for adults,please....or at the 18 and over crowd....if you are into mysteries, and like a quick read, But one that you can't figure out who dun it til the end, this series is for You!!!! I discovered Miss Fisher on TV...( So,this goes to say, the books are the books, the series on TV are the series, the bones of the story is there on the TV but they've added and/ or subtracted a few things...) she's an Honourable....a Duke's Daughter, who goes against convention, and does what she wants,and in the first book,Cocaine Blues,she says as much, packs up,gets on a ship and goes to Melbourne ,Australia.....look, I can't give to much away....she's funny, irreverent,ballsy, loads of moxie(probably same thing as ballsy)tons of money,after being Dirt Poor,just read them ....you won't be disappointed!!!
