The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher is up to her elegant eyebrows in mystery once again!

Awakening unusually early one morning, Phryne Fisher finds herself with a rare stretch of free time to fill. After dropping her daughters off for their school-sponsored charity work at the Blind Institute, she visits a university professor whose acquaintance she'd made--and admired--on a prior case. At lunch, the smitten professor invites Phryne to dine at his home in Williamstown later that week.

Bookending her pleasant dinner with her new friend Jeoffrey, Phryne makes two disturbing discoveries: first, a discarded opium pipe in the park, and later the body of a Chinese man on the beach--cause of death not apparent, yet ultimately ruled a homicide. Shortly thereafter, the teenaged sister-in-law of Phryne's longtime lover Lin Chung disappears from her home. But when one of Jeoffrey's colleagues is murdered in front of a houseful of guests at a Chinese-themed party he is hosting, Phryne can't help but wonder--are the incidents all related somehow? And who on earth has been leaving notes in her letterbox, warning her to "REPENT" and that "THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH"--?

In addition to the formidable and fashionable Phryne, this clever mystery once again features Phryne's three wards with their own mysteries to solve: Ruth and Jane, tracking an embezzler at the Institute, and Tinker, whose help Phryne enlists to uncover the author of the threatening missives.

About the Author

Kerry Greenwood was born in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray and after wandering far and wide, she returned to live there. She has degrees in English and Law from Melbourne University and was admitted to the legal profession on the 1st April 1982, a day which she finds both soothing and significant. Kerry has written three series, a number of plays, including The Troubadours with Stephen D’Arcy, is an award-winning children’s writer and has edited and contributed to several anthologies. The Phryne Fisher series (pronounced Fry-knee, to rhyme with briny) began in 1989 with Cocaine Blues which was a great success. Kerry has written twenty books in this series with no sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol. Kerry says that as long as people want to read them, she can keep writing them. In 2003 Kerry won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Association.

Phryne on Fire

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2024

Verified Purchase

Phryne has her plate full of Chinese fortune cookies as she tries to find out who is responsible for smuggling opium into Melbourne. However, the entire household is mixed up in two different mysteries. Who is sending nasty threats to Phryne and who is skimming money from a school for the blind. It's an interesting story full of twists and turns.

Intrigue in 1920s Melbourne

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2023

Verified Purchase

The latest in the Phryne Fisher series is a fun, quick read with a few mysteries for Phryne and friends to solve: a murder, possible embezzlement, and nasty anonymous letters. The plot was a bit disjointed while the characters worked on the three mysteries, but the descriptions of Phryne and her life in 1920s Melbourne are as vivid as ever, and it was fun to watch the younger characters do their own detecting. This is a series probably best read in order (or close to it) so the characters' relationships make sense. Thanks to NetGalley and publisher Allen & Unwin for the ARC; all opinions are my own.

Very few authors can juggle at least 7 story lines and have them all satisfying resolves. Delighted with this latest outing of Miss Fisher!!

Not up to the usua standards

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

I am a huge fan of the Phryne books, but I was disappointed with this one. It was uncharacteristic of Lin to have banned Phryne from what was going on in his world since she’d been involved several times in the past and he knew he could rely on her understanding and discretion.
Tinker was portrayed as basically living in her shed but not being part the family but in all the past books he worked well with the girls, and while needing a female free place to go was part of all that went on. Also, a small complaint is that he’d been working on his grammar but in this book he’s worse than when he met Phryne.
Hugh falling off the face of the earth didn’t ring true either. While he’s needed to keep details under wraps before he never just kept Dot in the dark completely before.
I almost felt like I wanted to ask Kerry to re-read her books to reacquaint herself with her secondary characters.

Miss Fisher

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024

I love all the Miss Fisher books. This one is better than ok, but I stand by an earlier review of another book, that it reads as if written by someone else. I re-read the entire series about every other year, and have noticed the later books are much different in tone than the earlier ones... but it's a great read, none the less

As always it has been a very enjoyable reading, I couldn’t put the book down.
Can’t wait for the next one!

Another Phryne Fisher triumph

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2023

Verified Purchase

Every new book by Kerry Greenwood is much awaited, and so far, never a disappointment. Whether it is a Phryne Fisher book or one with Corinna Chapman in the leading role, Kerry Greenwood supplies a great detective novel. This latest addition to the Phryne Fisher series was a delight to read. She creates a narrative that really brings Melbourne in the late 1920's to live, and her characters are a joy to follow. In this book, as in every other in the series, there are several mysteries to solve and a whole cast of recurring characters to help Phryne do so.
It seems to me that the author is setting events up for another book, and I sincerely hope that my intuition is right.

Lovely to see and new Pyryne Fisher book

Reviewed in Australia on January 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is what Kerry Greenwood does best. A fabulous new Pyryne adventure that you simply MUST read. As usual I read it almost in one sitting and then the lovely slow reread that allows me to savour Kerry's wonderful writing and ideas. Just love this author's books and can't get enough. Thank you so much for this Kerry and am looking forward to your next Corrina book.

A great series has become unreadable

Reviewed in Canada on November 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

I totally agree with the lengthy review written by Universal Beth. I, too, have read and reread all of Phryne's adventures up until now and enjoyed them immensely. Some, of course, have been better than others, but all have been worth reading up until now. Both Death in Daylesford and Murder in Williamstown have been littered with major inconsistencies and character changes that have ruined the books for me. This will be the last Phyrne Fisher book I buy.

Annoying mistakes with the character’s personal histories.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 30, 2024

Verified Purchase

I understand books referring to previous novels as a way to entice a new reader to the back catalogue. However; for someone who has read the previous books, it is terribly annoying when it appears the author and editors have not. This book in time lines closely follows the last, where Dot plans to remain working after matrimony, which Hugh supports. I can only assume for drama’s sake this has suddenly been changed. Next, Tinker is unused to riding a bike; when the character is introduced, Phryne helps him to buy one. The final annoying rub is saying Jane cut her hair short because someone tied her to a lamppost by her pigtails. She cut her hair after being pulled into the sea by them.

If the author doesn’t care about the characters, why should we? It is just irritating and such a shame. It reads as rushed; too many details in the first chapters about historical places and then simple, irritating inaccuracies, rushing through to the ending with easy solutions to multiple ‘mysteries.’

I have really enjoyed this series, but lately it feels hurried. Such a shame as it could have been so much more.
