Book Overview
The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher is up to her elegant eyebrows in mystery once again
When private detective Phryne Fisher stumbles upon a lifeless man on the Williamstown shore and begins receiving ominous letters marked "REPENT," and "THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH," she knows something darker than scandal is stirring. At first, Phryne's week seems peacefully uneventful--she drops her daughters off at the Blind Institute for charity work and reconnects with a charismatic professor. But things quickly take a dark turn with the discovery of an opium pipe, a murder, and the disappearance of a teenage girl--the sister-in-law of Phryne's longtime lover Lin Chung.
As her daughters Ruth and Jane chase a financial swindle at the Blind Institute, and streetwise Tinker investigates the source of the threats, Phryne navigates a maze of academic rivalries, opium smuggling, and cultural tensions. With the walls closing in, the sharpest mind in Melbourne must outwit a killer whose cryptic messages haunt her every move.
From internationally bestselling author Kerry Greenwood comes a gripping new mystery in the beloved Miss Fisher series--praised for its wit, social bite, and unstoppable heroine.
