About this listen

 The sassy Phryne Fisher comes to Sydney! This is the 10th Phryne Fisher mystery.

Phryne Fisher has plans for her Sydney sojourn, but they begin to go awry when Phryne's maid discovers that her respectable sister Joan has left her family for the murky nightlife on the Cross...and then postponed again because Phyrne is definitely not the woman to say 'no' when two delightful young men are on their knees, begging for her help in finding their friend innocent of theft.

It all sounds simple enough as Phryne sets investigations into motion. But when greed and fear are the motivating factors, people become ruthless and Phyrne quickly finds herself enmeshed in blackmail, secrets, lies and the dangerous influences of deep magic.

I enjoyed the mystery a lot, the parts about cricket are more abracadabra for me than Crowley could ever muster, but it was still a good book.

Good story, even if you know nothing of cricket

Would you consider the audio edition of Death Before Wicket to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Death Before Wicket?

"The Well" each time it appears

Have you listened to any of Stephanie Daniel’s other performances? How does this one compare?

As always Stephanie Daniel's reading of this draws me into the story. She is a great choice for this series of stories.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and if not for interruptions would have done so.

Any additional comments?

The only downer was the sudden appearance of a stray throwback to when this recording was on CDs wanting me to either change from or to cd 6 (listened July 2015)
