Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, now streaming on Netflix, starring
Essie Davis as the honourable Phryne Fisher
"Among Phryne's pleasantly dashing adventures, this one stands out for
its emphasis on sexual orientation and institutional coverups."
--Kirkus Reviews STARRED review
The decidedly raven-haired Miss Phryne Fisher returns to delve deep into
the dark side of Melbourne, Australia.
It's 1929, and girls are going missing. Little, pretty golden-haired
girls. And they're not just pretty. Three of them are pregnant, poor
girls from the harsh confines of the Magdalene Laundry. People are
getting nervous.
Polly Kettle, a pushy, self-important girl reporter with ambition and no
sense of self preservation, decides to investigate and promptly goes
missing herself.
It's time for Phryne and Dot to put a stop to this and find Polly Kettle
before something quite irreparable happens to all of the missing girls.
It's all piracy and dark cellars, convents and plots, murder and
mystery...and Phryne finally finds out if it's true that blondes have
more fun.
