About Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries:

The Honorable Miss Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, Girl with a Pearl Earring) is a thoroughly modern woman of the late 1920s operating in a mostly male world.

The glamorous "lady detective" goes about her work with a pistol close at hand-and, more often than not, a male admirer even closer.

To the dismay of Detective Inspector Jack Robinson (Nathan Page, The Secret Life of Us), Phryne's investigations take her through the back alleys, jazz clubs, and shady markets of Melbourne.

Ignoring the dangers all around her, she seems to glide through life determined to enjoy every moment.

But beneath her devil-may-care attitude, Phryne hides ghosts from the past that continue to haunt her.
