The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher began life in 1989 as the daring lady detective protagonist of a series of 18 crime books written by Australian author, Kerry Greenwood. A glamorous and thoroughly modern woman of the late 1920s with an acquired taste for the best, but impeccable working-class origins, Phryne was an instant success with readers.
In ABC1’s new 13-part drama series “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries” our lady sleuth sashays through the back lanes and jazz clubs of Melbourne, fighting injustice with her pearl-handled pistol and her dagger sharp wit.
