Phryne Fisher is bored by the London society. When she gets a proposition to do some amateur sleuthing in Australia, she immediately grabs the opportunity and boards a ship to Melbourne. And there she starts her amateur sleuthing, which is fine by me. It´s your typical run-of-the-mill amateur sleu...
I picked this up years back when I first got a kindle. It was a freebie. Phryne Fisher is a woman whose family has gone fro literal rags to riches. She returns to the place of her birth Melbourne, in part because she wants to and to help parents who are somewhat concerned about her daughter. O...
After reading many reviews filled with praise for Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher mystery novels, I finally decided to give them a look. The idea of a 1920s amateur sleuth in Australia was certainly a draw. That the sleuth is a woman was also attractive, particularly since I always loved Miss Marple...

Series: Phryne Fisher # 1 A light but fun read. I quite liked Phryne. The dance description at the first dinner seemed a bit superfluous and some of the chronology regarding Robert Matthews, for example, seemed a bit rushed, unless I misread it. He’s already established himself when Phryne gets to...
This is the first book in the Phryne Fisher series, and it's golden. The introduction is priceless, as the young lady puts Sherlock Holmes to shame in the instantaneous and almost offhand solving of the theft of a necklace. The whole book is a bit like that, brisk and breezy and offhand. Phryne F...
Quite entertaining, but I wouldn't call it high literature. There were some theses I can't agree with and I doubt I'd continue reading these books if I hadn't watched the show first and become attached to these characters.
The first book in the series by Kerry Greenwood is Cocaine Blues and it introduces the reader to Phryne Fisher, a most unusual choice for a detective. She's brash, fearless, wealthy, and (if you didn't catch on) a woman. The series is set in late 1920s Melbourne, Australia and features an interestin...
