Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"A sprightly pace, amusing characters, and vividly rendered Melbourne...Fans of Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher will want to check out this one." --Publishers Weekly
It's 1960 and Peregrine Fisher, Phyrne's long-lost niece, is about to get the news of her life.
Phryne's gone missing in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Only her pearl handled gun and a note arrive back home. She's left instruction that say, that should not turn up in six months' time, a letter must be sent to next of kin.
Peregrine, summons in hand, arrives in Melbourne to Greenwood mansion where she will inherit her aunt's wealth. Phryne's seat in the Adventuresses' Club, on the other hand, must be earned. When two dead bodies turn up at the Astor bridal show, Peregrine gets her chance.
In pure Fisher fashion, she'll defy social expectation with outlandish style, discover a penchant for investigating, all while running circles around the police.
"It's the 1960s, and Peregrine Fisher has just been fired. Soon after, she receives a letter from The Adventuresses' Club of the Antipodes: "Please attend urgent meeting regarding inheritance." Peregrine, it turns out, is Phryne Fisher's long-lost niece. Aunt Phryne went missing, but her will stipulated that Peregrine should inherit not just Phryne's fortunes, but also her seat in the Adventuresses' Club. After a lousy first impression in Melbourne, Peregrine must prove herself worthy of a seat at the table-so when a fellow member is accused of murder, she jumps at the chance to help, quickly proving that a headstrong character and a flair for investigation run in the family. Though the mystery begins to seem impossible, you should never underestimate a woman named Fisher!"-- Provided by publisher.
