AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Our unflappable, unconventional and uninhibited heroine, The Honourable Phryne Fisher, leaves the tedium of English high society for Melbourne, Australia, and never looks back. In her first three adventures, she encounters communism, cocaine, kidnappers and murderers. Phryne handles everything - danger, excitement and love - with her inimitable panache and flair, and still finds a little time for discreet dalliances and delicious diversions.'
