It is the end of the 1920s
The Honourable Phryne Fisher―
she of the green-gray eyes, diamant
garters, and outfits that should not be sprung suddenly on those of
nervous dispositions
decides it might be rather amusing to try her hand at being a lady detective in Melbourne, Australia.
Almost immediately from the time she books into the Windsor Hotel,
Phryne is embroiled in mystery:
poisoned wives, cocaine smuggling rings,
corrupt cops, and communism.
It is a fun read.
Award-winning actress Essie Davis (The Babadook, The Slap) stars as Miss
Phryne Fisher,
a glamorous “lady detective” with a flair for fashion
and a knack for solving crime.
Gleaming with period detail and high production values, this Australian hit sparkles with wit and intrigue.
You can watch it on Netflix:
Or on Amazon Prime or Vudu.
I love this and will definitely watch it on amazon.
ReplyDeleteThough it is a murder mystery, the show harkens back to a more innocent time when people were progressing not regressing. I think you will like it, Inger. :-)
DeleteReally good tips. Just reading them, I can feel the excitement build.
ReplyDeleteI tried my best, Jacqui! :-)
