Dead Man's Chest

Autor Kerry Greenwood
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2012
Traveling at high speed in her beloved Hispano-Suiza with her maid and trusted companion Dot, her two adoptive daughters Jane and Ruth, and their dog Molly, Phryne Fisher is off to Queenscliff. She'd promised everyone a nice holiday by the sea with absolutely no murders, but when they arrive at their rented accommodation that doesn't seem likely at all. An empty house, a gang of teenage louts, a fisherboy saved, and a missing butler and his wife seem to lead inexorably toward a hunt for buried treasure by the sea. Phryne knows to what depths people will sink for greed, but with a glass of champagne in one hand and a pearl-handled Beretta in the other, no one is getting past her. Kerry Greenwood won the Crime Writers' Association of Australia Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003. She has written eighteen books in the Phryne Fisher series with no sign yet that Miss Fisher is hanging up her pearl-handled pistol.

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.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Traveling at high speed in her beloved Hispano-Suiza accompanied by her maid and trusted companion Dot, her two adoptive daughters Jane and Ruth, and their dog Molly, The Hon. Miss Phryne Fisher is off to Queenscliff. She'd promised everyone a nice holiday by the sea with absolutely no murders, but when they arrive at their rented accommodation that doesn't seem likely at all.

An empty house, a gang of teenage louts, a fisherboy saved, and the mystery of a missing butler and his wife seem to lead inexorably toward a hunt for buried treasure by the sea. But what information might the curious Surrealists be able to contribute? Phryne knows to what depths people will sink for greed, but with a glass of champagne in one hand and a pearl-handled Beretta in the other, no one is getting past her.

Recenzii

Travelling at high speed in her beloved Hispano-Suiza accompanied by her trusted companion Dot, her two adoptive daughters and their dog, Phryne Fisher is off to Queenscliff. She'd promised everyone a nice holiday by the sea with absolutely no murders, but when they arrive at their rented accommodation that starts to seem less and less likely. An empty house, a gang of teenage louts, and the mystery of a missing butler and his wife seem to lead inexorably towards a hunt for buried treasure by the sea.

But what information might the curious Surrealists be able to contribute? Phryne knows what depths people will sink to for greed, but with a glass of champagne in one hand and a pearl-handled Beretta in the other, no-one is getting past her.

'With Phryne Fisher, the indefatigable Greenwood has invented the character-you-fall-in-love-with genre' The Australian

'The tricky plot, lively writing, likable flapper sleuth, and superb sense of period will delight readers' Publisher's Weekly
