This is where it all started! The first classic Phryne Fisher mystery, featuring our delectable heroine, cocaine, communism and adventure. Phryne leaves the tedium of English high society for Melbourne, Australia, and never looks back.
This is a fantastic start to a great series! If you are a fan of Alexander McCall-Smith or Elizabeth Peters then this is the series for you.
The 1920's are coming to a close and Phryne Fisher is a bored, smart, well off woman. After solving a mystery at home in London, she gets asked to go to Australia and help a friends daughter who they think is being poisoned.
Almost immediately from the time she books into the Windsor Hotel, Phryne is embroiled in mystery: poisoned wives, cocaine smuggling rings, corrupt cops and communism - not to mention erotic encounters with the beautiful Russian dancer, Sasha de Lisse - until her adventure reaches its steamy end in the Turkish baths of Little Lonsdale Street.
I really liked this book and can't wait to start reading Phryne Fisher #2 Flying to High
At the store we have the whole series on special! When you buy two Phryne Fisher books you get them for $30 So come and have a look at this great series!!!
