Even luckier is that I started reading the series before it sceened as an ABC TV series. It is always better to get to know a character from the book before they are converted into a screenplay. This bundle is also the best and most economical way to get hooked on a most unusual, enjoyable and satisfying detective series.But let me start by telling you something about Phryne. She was born in Melbourne to impoverished descendants of an aristocratic and wealthy UK family. "I was born in very poor circumstances. Bitterly poor. Then (due to the Great War) several people died and I was whisked away into fashion and wealth. I enjoy it greatly." But Phryne was not content to live a life of wealth and luxury - she wanted action in her life and spent time in the seedy parts of Paris before heading back from England to Australia to help a family friend.In this bundle of the first 3 books in the series we see her arrive in Melbourne and immediately assert her independence. Within hours of arrival she connects with a couple of taxi drivers who become her long time helpers, books into the Hotel Windsor with dozens of trunks full of the latest fashion, and goes out looking for more fashion. There she meets and helps a distraught young woman, Dorothy, planning to kill her employer's lecherous son with a kitchen knife. After cleverly helping Dorothy to embarrass the son without any injury, she asks her to become her maid. Dorothy quickly becomes Phryne's maid, personal assistant close confident.Phryne then starts her many adventures and investigations. While set in the 1920's Phryne is a very modern heroine who is always the centre of attention, relishes every one of life's moments and leaves a trail of satisfied lovers in her wake.In Cocaine Blues she tracks down the king of cocaine in Melbourne, a backstreet abortionist and a poisoner. In the course of her investigations she meets Detective Inspector Jack Robinson, who is intially suspicious of her activities but later on gains great respect for Thryne's skills and helps her with many investigations.Phryne further develops her investigatory skills in Flying Too High, handling a murder, a kidnapping and showing her outstanding flying and wing walking skills in a Tiger Moth. She continues to attract, bed and enjoy some beautiful men. She employs the same dash and elan to driving her beloved red Hispano-Suiza as she does to her investigations.In Murder on the Ballarat Train, the glamorous Phryne, accompanied by her loyal maid, Dot, decides to travel to the country by train. The last thing she expects is to be chloroformed and find that one of the passengers has been dragged out of the carriage during the night and murdered. She also finds a young girl who can't remember anything, and rumours of white slavery of young girls. Despite the stress of the investigation Phryne can always find a little time for a dalliance and delicious diversion with young men.I almost guarantee that after reading this economical bundle you will want to join me in reading Phryne's many further adventures. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Situation Mystery *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 13, 2016* The Australian Television Series (available on PBS) brought me to the book - I"m always hoping the written story will offer more insight - and thanks to TV it's easy to picture actress Essie Davis as the lead character. Miss Fisher is a liberated woman of the 1920's who dashes about solving mysteries, living an uninhibited single life, and spending her apparently unlimited funds as if they, like the dropped waist, were going out of style. On television a delight to watch, particularly the fashions. If the character ever becomes too insufferably impressed with herself during a TV episode (which every once in a while does happen), you can admire the authenticity of the clothes.Although the titular narratives are similar, from reading these first three stories I can tell that liberties have been taken in the TV production with character backgrounds, personalities, and the role each plays in a particular story. These liberties made the stories, with their subplots, nicely unpredictable, even though I had already seen the TV version.There is also a surprising addition of romance novel narrative. Miss Fisher, in print, thankfully doesn't spend too much time admiring herself (aside from using the mirror), but she doesn't seem as mature as the average detective either. And the interaction with key series character Jack Robinson, positively magnetic in the series, is disappointingly dry and perfunctory in these three stories at least.I can only hope the next stories in her series offer a bit more, because like it or not, I am unrelentingly hooked. The astonishingly glamorous production values that attract me to the television series are not as prevalent in the stories; but there's no scarcity of historical description. I'll be interested to see Greenwood's more mature Fisher stories. She's got me in her basket. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The honourable superwoman *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2012* Writers of crime and mystery novels commonly have either a central figure who features in every novel, like Lee Childs' Jack Reacher or John Le Carre's George Smiley, or a constant location like Florida or the Greek islands. We readers enjoy following a character we like, or visiting in imagination a location we are unlikely to visit in real life. Kerry Greenwood (Introducing the Honourable Phryne Fisher) gives us both: an intriguing heroine and the location of Melbourne, the second city of Australia - and as an extra twist her novels are set in about 1928, the relatively prosperous period between the First World War and the Great Depression. The mysteries are sometimes murders, but also kidnappings and other disappearances which Phryne Fisher is called on to solve - always successfully.Phryne is an intriguing character - late 20s in age, beautiful in appearance, with inherited wealth, who practises as a private investigator for the fun of it. She dresses extravagantly, eats and drinks very well (we get lots of culinary and alcoholic detail) and coaxes men to bed with ease and in impressive variety. I must confess that I don't worry very much about the solutions to the mysteries; I enjoy Phryne and her adventures in a city I know quite well and happily. The novels do not challenge the reader's intellect but they are easy, lighthearted relaxation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8013163-introducing-the-honourable-phryne-fisher-a-1920s-female-sleuth-mystery](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8013163-introducing-the-honourable-phryne-fisher-a-1920s-female-sleuth-mystery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
