The Green Mill Murder de Kerry Greenwood

The Green Mill Murder

Autor Kerry Greenwood
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 feb 2017
Phryne Fisher is dancing at the Green Mill, Mel-bourne's premier dance hall, wearing a sparkling lobelia-colored georgette dress. Nothing can flap the un-flappable Phryne-especially with so many delectable dance partners. Nothing but death, that is. Then suddenly in the middle of "Bye Bye Blackbird," a figure slumps to the ground, stabbed. Phryne, conscious of how narrowly the weapon missed her own bare shoulder, back, and dress, investigates. She follows the deadly trail into the dark smoky jazz clubs of Fitzroy, into the arms of eloquent strangers, and finally into the sky, as she uncovers a complicated family tragedy from the Great War and the damaged men who came back from ANZAC cove. Kerry Greenwood is the author of 40 novels and six non-fiction books. Among her many honors, Ms. Greenwood has received the Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award from the Crime Writers' Association of Austrialia.

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:
Death and blackmail make an unwelcome visit to the hottest dancehall in town in this delicious Miss Fisher mystery.

Dancing divinely through the murder and mayhem of her fifth adventure, the elegant Phryne Fisher remains unflappable. Gorgeous in her sparkling lobelia-coloured georgette dress, delighted by her dancing skill, pleased with her partner and warmed by the admiring regard of the banjo player, Miss Phryne Fisher had thought of tonight as a promising evening at the hottest dancehall in town, the Green Mill.

But that was before death broke in. In jazz-mad 1920s Melbourne, Phryne finds there are hidden perils in dancing the night away like murder, blackmail and young men who vanish. This adventure leads to smoke-filled clubs, a dashingly handsome band leader, some fancy flying indeed across the Australian Alps and a most unexpected tryst with a gentle stranger.

'Independent, wealthy, spirited and possessed of an uninhibited style that makes every one move out of her way and stand gawking a full five minutes after she walks by Phryne Fisher is a woman who gets what she wants and has the good sense to enjoy every minute of it!' - Davina Bartlett, Geelong Times

Recenzii

From beginning to end, Greenwood infuses her series with evocative settings, multidimensional characters and satisfying mysteries.
Dodging elegantly through mayhem and murder, the elegant Phryne Fisher remains unflappable!

Glorious in her sparkling georgette frock, delighted by her dancing skill, pleased with her partner and warmed by the admiring glances of the banjo player, Phryne Fisher had thought of tonight as a promising evening at the hottest dance hall in town, the Green Mill.

But that was before death gatecrashed the party. In the jazz-mad world of the 1920s Phryne finds there are hidden perils in dancing the night away – like murder, blackmail and young men who simply vanish into thin air . . .






‘Phryne Fisher… an investigator with all the charm, wit and intelligence of James Bond, and as many lovers.’
