Book Description

The Honourable Phryne Fisher - she of the Lulu bob, green eyes, Cupid's Bow lips and diamante garters - is the 1920s' most elegant and irrepressible sleuth. This collection of Phryne short stories and other Phryne miscellany - including Prynne's favourite shoes and hats, decadent cocktail recipes and her best tips for discouraging unwanted admirers - is a gorgeously collectable treat for all Phryne fans.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A most charming, sexy, independent, and candid heroine; clever, literate dialog; and closely woven plotting will win immediate fans."

"Fans of the inimitable Phryne Fisher will rejoice in this cornucopia of short stories, recipes, lists of Phryne’s favorite things, and other tidbits about the life of this female James Bond. For those readers who have yet to experience Greenwood’s fearless bon vivant detective, this volume is a great introduction to many of the characters who inhabit the Phryne Fisher series." —Historical Novels Review

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 twenty novels, 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 sixteen 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.

This review is from: A Question of Death (Phyrne Fisher Treasury) (Hardcover)

I recently read or listened to the entire series of Phryne Fisher books by Kerry Greenwood in chronological order. I highly recommend doing it that way. I own about half of them and got the others from my library, some as audiobooks on Audible.com or CD. They are fun to read and give you a lot of background on Melbourne and other parts of Australia in the 1928+ era. The descriptions of clothes, food, settings, and activities are very interesting, as well as enhancing what are good, light mysteries. A Question of Death lives up to its description in the product review by providing a "...sparkling collection of Phryne short stories and other Phryne miscellany..." It is a nice addition to my collection on Ms. Fisher. A Question of Death (Phyrne Fisher Treasury)
