About this listen

The devastating Phryne Fisher is under fire again in her fourth mystery.

A very young man with muddied hair, a pierced ear and a blue tattoo lies cradled in Phryne's arms. But sadly, it's not another scene of glorious seduction - this time it's death. The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher, beautifully dressed in loose trousers, a cream silk shirt and a red-fox fur has just had her windscreen shot out inches in front of her divine nose. But worse is the fate of the pale young man lying on the road, his body hit by bullets, who draws his final blood-filled breath with Phryne at his side. Outraged by this brutal slaughter, Phryne promises to find out who is responsible. But Phryne doesn't yet know how deeply into the mire she'll have to go: bank robbery, tattoo parlours, pubs, spiritualist halls, and the Anarchists. Along this path, Phryne meets Peter, a battle-scarred, sexy Slav, who offers much more to her than just information. But all thoughts of these delights flee from Phryne's mind when her beloved maid, Dot, disappears. There's nothing Phryne won't do to get her back safely.

I always enjoy mysteries about this particular lady. She makes me laugh, makes me want to thump the nasties. A thoroughly good plot very well read as always.

Always great fun and perfectly narrated

Light and frothy fun - easy going read with plenty of humour. The actual plot was OK, but the joy of these books in the stylish and tongue in cheek writing.

Fantastic story, great characters and great performance - just had to knock a star off this time for the singing, can’t these bits just be read out? Apart from that it was perfect xx

Another great combination
