Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, now streaming on Netflix, starring
Essie Davis as the honourable Phryne Fisher
"One of the more complex and somber cases in the career of Greenwood's
Australian Jazz Age amateur sleuth Phryne Fisher." --Publishers Weekly
Phryne Fisher's contentment at the Jewish Young People's Society Dance
is cut short when her dancing partner's father asks her to investigate
the strange death of a devout young student in Miss Sylvia Lee's East
Market bookshop. Miss Lee has been arrested for the murder, but Phryne
believes that she is a very unlikely killer.
The investigation leads her into the exotic world of refugees, rabbis,
kosher dinners, Kadimah, strange alchemical symbols, Yiddish, and
chicken soup. Picking her way through the mystery, Phryne soon finds
herself at the heart of a situation far graver and more political than
she expected. And all for the price of a song....
