Recenzii
The redoubtable Phryne Fisher is holidaying at Cave House, a Gothic mansion in the heart of Australia’s Victorian mountain country. But the peaceful surroundings mask danger. Her host is receiving death threats, lethal traps are set without explanation, and the parlour maid is found strangled to death.
What with the reappearance of mysterious funereal urns, a pair of young lovers, an eccentric handyman, an angry outcast heir, and her luscious Chinese lover, Phryne’s attention has definitely been caught. Her search for answers takes her deep into the dungeons of the house and into the limestone Buchan caves . . . but what secrets will she find within?
From beginning to end, Greenwood infuses her series with evocative settings, multidimensional characters and satisfying mysteries.
Phryne Fisher is gutsy and adventurous, and also well endowed with plenty of grey matter. She has it over Robicheaux and Poirot because she’s drop-dead gorgeous.
Those who like their mysteries bold and spicy will appreciate the latest adventure of 1920s heroine Phryne Fisher.
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.
