It’s been years since I read Cocaine Blues (I think it was in The Before Times), and I feared I’d have to go back to it for a refresher, but I needn’t have worried. Greenwood helpfully explains any references to past adventures whether they were in the first book or not. It seems to be the kind of d...
I think this book is firmly a three star read. We get introduced to Mr. Butler, though in the book series he has a wife. We have Phryne once again being led by her libido. At least she has good deductive reasoning though. Though I will say that whole last act was unnecessary with Phryne and I found ...
Series: Phryne Fisher #2 The mystery is rather slap-dash, and then there’s a very long wrap-up involving breakfast and shopping and then a party. I was thinking of giving it three stars because I do still really like Phryne, but I don’t think I can quite do it. Oh well. It’s actually a fun book, b...
Phryne Fisher is back in Flying to High, the sequel to Cocaine Blues. In this book, she has to help a man accused of murdering his father, rescue a kidnapped child and of course, seduce some men.I didn't find this book as good as the first one. I like Phryne Fisher, she's a great character, but the ...
I am happy to tell yout that Phryne Fisher is still perfect in everything she does! In this book we learn that she is also a great pilot and a perfect shot! She also uses her awesome pilot skill to almost scare somebody to death who wasn't nice to her on one occasion but it's OK because he is a...
At the risk of being called blasphemous by my fellow reading buffs, I announce that this is the rare occasion when a movie is better than a book it’s based on. Or a TV series, as is the case here. I’m a big fan of the Australian mini TV series Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. I love everything in it:...
The prose here is much more assured than the first Phryne Fisher novel, which means the sharp wit and dazzling charm is much more evident. Highly recommended, especially if you like antique airplanes and softer mysteries.
I had watched the TV series many years after reading the first book and it reinvigorated an interest in the series. I have to say I love the TV series and like the books. This one has Phryne fly a plane, work out the death of an industrialist who disagreed with most of his family; solve a kidnappin...
Phryne's second outing is solid, if it somewhat lacks some of the charm of the first. Greenwood's tendency to have two mysteries, unconnected, running concurrently, gets a bit bothersome here, especially since I was much more interested in the murder than the kidnapping and the latter takes over the...
Kinda of a reset of the series. Phryne Fisher moves into a house, gains a couple of house help, Mr et Mrs Butler (which is well cute for 1 second, that's it. It's like naming your dog, dog.). Her spiffy red car is now hers, her doctor/surgeon female friend is gone but replaced by a lawyer female fri...
