Bored with London society, Phryne relocates to Australia and quickly turns amateur sleuth, tackling poisonings, kidnappings, waterfront crime, and ballroom scandal with icy nerve and flapper-era flair. Each novel is a fast, self-contained mystery, yet together the five books trace Phryne's rise as a fearless investigator surrounded by a loyal, colorful cast. Fans of clever plotting, strong heroines, and Jazz Age atmosphere will find this collection a stylish, addictive introduction to one of cozy crime fiction's most iconic detectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis collection gathers the first five Phryne Fisher mysteries, the novels that launched Kerry Greenwood's beloved Australian crime series and later inspired the acclaimed television adaptation. Miss Phryne Fisher Investigates opens the saga as the bored, wealthy Phryne trades London tedium for Melbourne adventure, plunging into a case involving poison, drugs, and a corrupt police force. Flying Too High pairs a puzzling homicide with a tense kidnapping plot set against the thrill of early aviation. Murder on the Ballarat Train traps Phryne aboard a country-bound locomotive where a poisoning, a vanished passenger, and an amnesiac girl demand her full attention. Death at Victoria Dock pulls her into the shadowy world of Melbourne's waterfront, where smuggling and betrayal collide. The Green Mill Murder closes the set on a dazzling dance floor, where a partner drops dead mid-quickstep and Phryne must untangle wartime secrets to find the killer. Across all five novels, Greenwood blends meticulous 1920s period detail with brisk, twisty plotting, delivering mysteries that are as much about atmosphere and character as they are about whodunit. Phryne herself, independently wealthy, sexually liberated, and utterly unflappable, reshaped what a detective heroine could be, aided by companions like her devoted maid Dot and the resourceful cabbies Bert and Cec. Whether readers are meeting Phryne for the first time or revisiting her earliest cases, this five-book set offers a complete, immersive gateway into a Melbourne of glittering parties, smoky jazz clubs, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete set of the first five Phryne Fisher Mysteries by Kerry Greenwood in matching paperback editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, self-contained cozy mysteries perfect for reading in any order or start to finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVivid 1920s Jazz Age Melbourne setting with authentic period detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures one of crime fiction's most iconic, independent female detectives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for mystery lovers, book clubs, and fans of the Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries TV series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback set, ready to add to any home or classroom library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMiss Phryne Fisher Investigates — Introduces the glamorous Honourable Phryne Fisher as she leaves London society behind to become a lady detective in 1920s Melbourne.\u003cbr\u003e\nFlying Too High — Phryne juggles a suspicious homicide and a tense kidnapping case while aviation and high society collide.\u003cbr\u003e\nMurder on the Ballarat Train — A poisoning and a mysteriously vanished passenger turn a routine country train journey into a locked-carriage mystery.\u003cbr\u003e\nDeath at Victoria Dock — A shattered windscreen and a dying man with a telltale tattoo draw Phryne into Melbourne's waterfront underworld.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Green Mill Murder — A dancer collapses dead mid-quickstep at a glamorous nightclub, sending Phryne chasing wartime secrets for answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKerry Greenwood is an Australian author and criminal defense lawyer born in Footscray, Victoria.
