About this listen

Phryne Fisher, scented and surprisingly ruthless, is not one to let sleuthing a horrific crime get in the way of an elegant dalliance.

The redoubtable Phryne Fisher is holidaying at Cave House, a Gothic mansion in the heart of the Victorian mountain country.

But the peaceful country surroundings mask danger. Her host is receiving death threats, lethal traps are set without explanation around the house and the parlour maid is found strangled to death.

What with the reappearance of the mysterious funerary urns, apair of young lovers, an extremely eccentric swagman, an angry outcast heir, and the luscious Lin Chung, Phryne’s attention has definitely been caught.

Phryne’s search for answers takes her deep into the dungeons of the house and of the limestone Buchan caves. But what will she find this time?

Solve another case with Phryne Fisher.©1996 Kerry Greenwood (P)2011 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Miss Fisher in the Countryside

A fun read that has lashes of golden age crime influences throughout the story - but with a plot as naughty as Miss Fisher can make it. I suspected there were certain Agatha Christie elements about the plot but the addition of the chat with the author at the end of the book helped to confirm my suspicions. The classic country house murder mystery with the detective stuck in the house with the murderer and host of suspects, but with a little more political and racial tensions building with the presence of Phryne's lover, Lin Chung.

Sassy

Loved the storyline, the characters and beautiful language. Miss Fisher is a role model and Kerry Greenwood crafts a narrative that highlights and soothes.
