About this listen
1948. After serving with the French Resistance during the Second World War, codenamed La Chatte Noire, Phryne Fisher escaped to Australia in search of sunshine, butter and peace. So she’s furious when tragedy intrudes upon her newfound tranquillity and she discovers a dead man on Somerton Beach - well-dressed, good-looking and with a secret smile on his lips. The police are baffled as to his identity and cause of death - not to mention the scrap of paper bearing the words TAMAM SHUD found upon him, and the coded message in the book from which it was torn. But WPC Hammond knows Phryne’s fame as a detective. And Phryne telephones her old friend Bernard Cooper, who spent the war at a place called Bletchley, doing something awfully top secret involving codes....

Another wonderful Phryne mystery
I enjoyed this glimpse into an older Phryne Fisher mystery. It was a most enjoyable short story to lift my mood on my way to work.

Disappointing
Too short to be worth one credit. Will wait impatiently for her next full book.

Phrynnes accent
It felt like phrynnes accent was too Aussie. Needed to be more refined, a more international accent.

not the Phryne I know and love
I am struggling with this book, both the story and the narrator. Like so many I have held an interest in the mystery of the Somerton man but I struggle with Phryne living in Adelaide, I can imagine her visiting but not residing there. So far she lacks the Phryne sparkle and spunk, I hope the story will improve. Like others I am missing the usual cast of characters. Then there is the narrator. I would consider listening to other books narrated by her but the voice for Phryne is too Collingwood, we all miss her more plumby tones of previous narrators and on tv. I really like a narrator who performs different voices - in this Phryne and a male friend were having a conversation and they both had the same working class Australian voice, same pitch. Plus it is a short story - what a waste of a credit. I had been looking forward to a long story with Phryne and this left me sad

Disappointing
Poor narration which changed Phryne’s character completely.
No continuation of previous familiar and loved characters.
