With more than a dash of glamour and serious helpings of style, the witty and courageous Phryne Fisher returns. In 1928 St Kilda’s streets hang with fairy lights. Magic shows, marionettes, tea dances, tango competitions, life-saving demonstrations, lantern shows, and picnics on the beach are all part of the Flower Parade. And who else should be chosen to be Queen of the Flowers but the gorgeous, charming and terribly fashionable Hon Phryne Fisher? Phryne needs a new dress and a swimming costume but she also needs a lot of courage to confront her problems: a missing daughter, the return of an old lover, and a young woman found drowned at the beach at Elwood.

"always enjoy a Phryne tale!"
Fun, light, interesting
Yes, if they like light mystery with a determined lead character
I've listened to just about all of the Phryne Fisher stories and Stephanie Daniels IS Phryne, so I can't imagine hearing anyone else!
I enjoy Phyrne's growing relationships with her girls
"Fun read"
I listen and read to relax. This book is great for easy listening and enjoying a story. Ms. Fisher is what many of us women secretly wish we were. Confident, totally independent, apologising to no one for who she is.
It's dependability, and humor. Even discussing a very real and grusome situation it was still enjoyable and never became maudelin.
She is great as Phrynie Fisher. I don't believe I have heard any other recordings of her work.
"Fun summer read!"
I enjoyed this book and the narrator was fabulous. Lighthearted and enjoyable. I will listen to more Phryne Fisher mysteries.

"The Delightful Phryne"
This novel is another installment in this lovely series. The focus is back on Phryne and her little family, and less on Lin and the chinese community. Many old friends from other books make happy cameos, and Phryne is at her fabulous best saving lives and sorting out messes. The theme of fathers and family is also explored in an interesting way.
