Phryne Fisher, intelligent, brave and stunningly chic, is back in this most entertaining mystery. With a brand new stylish 1920s cover, this seventh Phryne Fisher murder mystery is superb. Phryne Fisher, scented and surprisingly ruthless, is not one to let sleuthing an horrific crime get in the way of an elegant dalliance. The redoubtable Phryne Fisher is holidaying at Cave House, a Gothic mansion in the heart of the Victorian mountain country. But the peaceful country surroundings mask danger.

Phryne Fisher (/ˈfraɪni/ FRY-nee), often called "Miss Fisher", is the main character in Australian author Kerry Greenwood's series of Phryne Fisher detective novels. The character later appeared in a television series called Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and the forthcoming film Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears. Phryne is a wealthy aristocrat and private detective who lives in St Kilda, Melbourne, in the late 1920s.

Phryne Fisher is an investigator in 1920’s Melbourne with an amazing wardrobe, cash to burn, a bob that I’m a jealous of, and a taste for adventure. Cocaine Blues opens with Phryne solving a diamond theft at her parents’ dinner party. And by solving a diamond theft I mean kind of rolling her eyes, sipping her cocktail, and saying Obviously he did it, you guys, while pointing to the villain with her cigarette.

Itas Christmas, and Phryne has an invitation to the Last Best party of 1928, a four-day extravaganza being held at Werribee Manor house and grounds by the Golden Twins, Isabella and Gerald Templar. She knew them in Paris, where they caused a sensation.Phryne is in two minds about going. But when threats begin arriving in the mail, she promptly decides to accept the invitation. No one tells Phryne Fisher what to do.At the Manor House, she is accommodated in the Iris room, and at the party dallies with two polo-playing women, a Goat lady (and goat), a large number of glamorous young men, and a very rude child called Tarquin.The acolytes of the golden twins are smoking hashish and dreaming. The jazz is as hot as the drinks are cold. Heaven. It all seems like good clean fun until three people are kidnapped, one of them the abominable child, and Phryne must puzzle her way through the cryptic clues of the scavenger hunt to retrieve the hostages and save the party from further disaster.

I love Miss Fisher. I love Ms Greenwood. I continue to read these novels with relish ( not the condiment). I hear there is a movie in the making and if I could have a fantastical wish it would be that the movie more closely resembled the book. No, I don’t want Phryne and Jack separated. I still want that part but the details are what drives these stories. Thanks for another one. On to the next.

The end of 1928, Phryne gets invited to a huge party and Lin refuses to go. Then in a Christmas card there arrives a threat warning her not to go. Well , you know how week that goes over. Get to meet everyone's family and how they celebrate Christmas. Phryne gets to the absurd party and finds that 2 children have disappeared and someone wants to kill one or both of the party givers. This was an odd story and not one I cared for. It was the one they used for the tv script of the party for the cousin's engagement. I did not like it then either. Read if you are interested.

This is the last of Phryne Fisher Murder Mysteries by Kerry Greenwood that are being used by the ABC in a current TV series. They are all great reads and while this one was not the best it was still a great read.

What I really enjoyed this time was Kerry Greenwood's writing style and her extensive and classical vocabulary. It would be hard to find a detective story that uses such unusual words to great effect, like effluvium, polyphiloprogenitive, sapphic, cerebrate, collop and epicene. These had my Kindle Dictionary hard at work.

The Hon Phryne Fisher is a unique, beautiful, rich, stylish, sexy and larger than life heroine who romps through adventure after adventure as a private investigator in Melbourne in 1928 and 1929.

In this book Phryne attends the "Last Best Party of 1928" - a sumptuous party held over several days at a country estate outside Melbourne with most guests and the functions accommodated in tents in the grounds. Despite threats to her life by an evil and dangerous "Joker" to dissuade her from attending, Phryne decides to attend and hunt down the Joker.

The party was a bit like a 1920's private Woodstock and I was not as drawn to the party-goers as I am the the great characters that make up Phryne's direct and extended family who were only bit players in this book.

I have now read 12 of the Phryne Fisher series and know that her mysteries can become an addiction. I will take a break but am sure that I will come back and enjoy more of her adventures in the future.

WARNING: Several of the books (including this one) have been made into an (Australian) ABC TV series. Key character and story alterations may change the way you think about this delectable series of books. To really understand Phryne you should try to keep the characters in the books and the series clearly separate in your mind.

Spreading this book is like peeling an onion. Tall tales within other tales. Exciting, fast paced action keeps the reader's attention while you learn new things about debauchery. Fun to read but hard to solve.

Nilabor

An excellent series, and this entry was fun. The author knows how to paint a picture and brought this "last, best party of 1928" to life in a surprisingly concise way. She doesn't run on and on, or waste over-much time in reviewing the characters and how they are all related, it always helps to read from the beginning of course, and this is the 16th entry as well, but its not a requirement....thou if your like me and the rest of my family, you will have to read them all once you read one.

It's so easy

Love the characters and always enjoy Kerry Greenwood. This is not my favourite Phrynne book, but all of them are fun reads.

Leyl

Interesting story but not one of the greatest Phryne Fisher books.

Can't wait for the next one. Love this series!
