Blood and Circuses: Miss Phryne Fisher Investigates: Phryne Fisher
Autor Kerry Greenwooden Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 noi 2014
There have been strange things happening at the circus. And when Phryne is asked by her friends - Samson the Strong Man, Alan the carousel operator and Doreen the Snake Woman - to help them, curiosity gets the better of her. Peeling off her wealth and privilege, Phryne takes a job as a trickhorse-rider, wearing hand-me-down clothes and a new name. Someone seems determined to see the circus fail and Phryne must find out who that might be and why they want it badly enough to resort to poison, assault and murder.
Diving into the dangerous underworld of 1920s Melbourne and the wild, eccentric life under the big top, Phryne proves her courage and ingenuity yet again, aided only by her quick intelligence, an oddly attractive clown, and a stout and helpful bear...

Undercover work at the big top!
Phryne Fisher is bored. But is she tired enough to leave her identity, home and family behind to join Farrell’s travelling circus? Strange things have been happening there and when Phryne is asked by her friends Samson the Strong Man and Doreen the Snake Woman to help, curiosity gets the better of her.
Peeling off her wealth and privilege, Phryne takes a job as a trick horse rider, wearing hand-me-downs and a new name. Someone seems determined to see the circus fail and Phryne must find out who that might be and why they want it badly enough to resort to poison, assault – and murder . . .
‘Phryne Fisher . . . an investigator with all the charm, wit and intelligence of James Bond, and as many lovers.’ Sunday Sun
From beginning to end, Greenwood infuses her series with evocative settings, multidimensional characters and satisfying mysteries.

Notă biografică
Kerry Greenwood was born in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray and after wandering far and wide, she returned to live there. She has degrees in English and Law from Melbourne University and was admitted to the legal profession on the 1st April 1982, a day which she finds both soothing and significant. Kerry has written three series, a number of plays, including The Troubadours with Stephen D'Arcy, is an award-winning children's writer and has edited and contributed to several anthologies. The Phryne Fisher series (pronounced Fry-knee, to rhyme with briny) began in 1989 with Cocaine Blues which was a great success. Kerry has written twenty books in this series with no sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol. Kerry says that as long as people want to read them, she can keep writing them. In 2003 Kerry won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Association.
