Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries complete collection Box Set ( 2020) – Crime Programmes, Essie Davis

What’s it about

Modernly independent yet fashionable woman Phryne Fisher comes to late 1920s Melbourne, Australia, where she soon finds murder and illegal activity mysteries to unravel. A disagreeable woman vanishes from a moving train, later found slain, with a scared girl in possession of her jewelry. Miss Fisher aims to help, much to Insp. Robinson’s professional annoyance. Miss Fisher’s plans to enjoy a night in a Jazz club are interrupted by a puzzling crime when a man collapses suddenly on the dance floor, murdered.

Summoned to investigate a missing school girl, Phryne runs afoul of social anarchists at odds during a dock workers’ strike. Phryne Fisher is on the scene when a young man is found dead in a bookshop. Miss Fisher is willing to bet her hat that it is a case of poisoning. Phryne investigates murder, alchemy, and Zionism alongside Detective Inspector Jack Robinson. An outing to the theater as Dot’s birthday present turns into a case involving murder, addiction, hatred and the supposed ghost of a long dead suicidal actress. Phryne’s post-war Parisian past returns when a reopened case over the murder of a famous painter targets Bert and two fellow war veterans for death.
