1948. After serving with the French Resistance during the Second World War, codenamed La Chatte Noire, Phryne Fisher escaped to Australia in search of sunshine, butter and peace. So she’s furious when tragedy intrudes upon her newfound tranquillity and she discovers a dead man on Somerton Beach - well-dressed, good-looking and with a secret smile on his lips. The police are baffled as to his identity and cause of death - not to mention the scrap of paper bearing the words TAMAM SHUD found upon him, and the coded message in the book from which it was torn.

Between gallivanting in his Rolls-Royce and darkening the doorways of London's hotspots, Lord Reginald "Rex" Bankes-Fernsby has almost succeeded in banishing the battlefield nightmares that plague his sleep.

But when Freddie is murdered, Rex doubts the verdict. Was Freddie really cut down while up to no good, or was he killed in the line of duty?

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 510
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

My husband and I are fighting for our lives in hospital after a terrible car accident. But despite my pain, all I can think about is what our families will find behind our front door. The scarf that has been all over the news, belonging to a dead young woman with honey-coloured hair. I have to speak to the police before my husband can.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Short stories, to short
The short stories were complete but it was me wanting me information. You are so descriptive and complete in your stories I wanted longer stories. Love your novels and absolutely enjoyed Corrina the baker.

Fun with Phryne
What did you love best about A Question of Death?
Loved the stories. I hadn't read any Phryne Fisher short stories before, though I've read all the novels. Thoroughly enjoyed them and especially loved the interview with Kerry Greenwood at the beginning in which she gives her MO for writing her fabulous books.
What did you like best about this story?
That there were several stories to enjoy, all new material to me.
What about Stephanie Daniel’s performance did you like?
I always love her performances with her plummy narrative voice and her skill at the different voices and accents.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Phryne Rides Again and Again and Again...
Any additional comments?
I'd love a similar collection of Corinna Chapman, Kerry Greenwood's lovable modern baker character.

Great new book by a good writer
What made the experience of listening to A Question of Death the most enjoyable?
I liked the book because of the lady detective and all the neat recipes in it. The reader captures the lady very well. I like a strong lady detective .
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Question of Death?
I always like the endings that tie all the loose threads up so neatly with a flourish.
Which scene was your favorite?
I always admire her sense of justice after finding out the who done it of the story-line.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I enjoyed spreading this book out as it was about several different cases and I sort of spaced them out to enjoy them longer.
Any additional comments?
I can't wait for the next Phryne Fisher book and what she will be up to next. I would like to hear more about her adopted family as well.

Wasn't sure about short stories but mostly Great!
The first, Hotel Splendide, snagged my interest immediately: A disappearing hotel room. Phryne encounters a woman who went out for medicine for her husband and now the husband AND HOTEL ROOM are gone! I also especially liked the tale of the son whose father gave deceased Mom's pearls, an inheritance belonging to the son, to his new lady friend. The stories didn't read like short stories but seemed fully fleshed out. Delighted I bought this book!
