Publisher's Summary

Phryne Fisher, scented and surprisingly ruthless, is not one to let sleuthing a horrific crime get in the way of an elegant dalliance.

The redoubtable Phryne Fisher is holidaying at Cave House, a Gothic mansion in the heart of the Victorian mountain country.

But the peaceful country surroundings mask danger. Her host is receiving death threats, lethal traps are set without explanation around the house and the parlour maid is found strangled to death.

What with the reappearance of the mysterious funerary urns, apair of young lovers, an extremely eccentric swagman, an angry outcast heir, and the luscious Lin Chung, Phryne’s attention has definitely been caught.

Phryne’s search for answers takes her deep into the dungeons of the house and of the limestone Buchan caves. But what will she find this time?

Solve another case with Phryne Fisher.

    Story
    "Phryne Does Christie"

    You can always count on Phryne Fisher for a bit of light fun. This one is a bit different from others in the series, as the author tips her hat (or sticks out her tongue) at Agatha Christie. The story is full of the usual Christie tropes (the isolated country house, the long returned secret relative, and on and on) but Greenwood pokes and tweaks them in a very un-Christie way.

    It wasn't my favorite of the Phryne mysteries by far, but was quite an enjoyable diversion none the less.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Urn Burial to be better than the print version?

    I didn't read it in print so I don't know.


    What other book might you compare Urn Burial to and why?

    none.


    Have you listened to any of Stephanie Daniel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Yes, and her performance is excellent as usual. She seems to be many people in the same story.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    It was all good.

    no
