Publisher's Summary
In this, the second Phryne Fisher mystery, the 1920s' most talented and glamorous detective flies even higher, handling a murder, a kidnapping and the usual array of beautiful young men with style and consummate ease - and all before it's time to adjourn to the Queenscliff Hotel for breakfast. Whether she's flying planes, clearing a friend of homicide charges or saving a child from kidnapping, she handles everything with the same dash and elan with which she drives her red Hispano-Suiza.
Solve another case with Phryne Fisher.

"very good fun"
amusing writer, who captures spirit of 20s and is scrupulous about historical research. Excellent narrator. Don't miss last five minutes of audiobook, which contain interview between narrator and Kerry Greenwood.

"Terrible Narrator"
I watched a Ms. Fisher program on PBS and thoroughly enjoyed it. I then downloaded this book and the narrator completely turned me off. So much so that I could not get past the first five minutes.
Ms. Greenwood's books are very entertaining and enjoyable, but they needs and deserve a better narrator.1 of 1 people found this review helpful -

"Much better than the first one..."
Phryne Fisher is a very "modern" girl (the servants call her a vamp), which is fitting along with all of the other things she takes on that were formerly exclusive provinces of men. These books illustrate how the world changed immeasurably for women as a result of the Great War, but largely in a lighthearted way. The Australian setting is different, too. I did enjoy this one much more than the first of the series (Cocaine Blues). I couldn't like Phryne Fisher in the first book -- I think she was too abrasive and I didn't really care about her. But in this book, Phryne has become a likable character and a bit of a heroine. The period flavor is substantial and the story is fun and moves quickly. I plan to read more of the series.

"Light, silly and a lot of fun."
A great lead character who s a sexy independent smart brave woman, lots of 1030s detail. A good beach book with an excellent narrator.

"Another Great Book"
The lesson here is to be nice to children and don't be condesending to others. You will know that Phryne hit you - and why.

"Enid Blighton for grown ups"
Very thin plot and characters are very 2 dimensional. I could have slapped the heroine by the end of the book - she is just too perfect. Rich, clever, beautiful etc. etc.

"It's the bees knees!"
Would you consider the audio edition of Flying Too High to be better than the print version?Having never read the print version, I can't say if I would like it better. I can usually "hear" things in my head as I read the print versions, but having a native speaker read something like this makes it even more fun. I NEVER would have guessed how they pronounce Phryne.
What did you like best about this story?This is full of high spirited adventure. I have always wanted to learn to fly, and back then it was so "by the seat of your pants." The machines were simpler, the hazards were natural, and the other traffic was nominal. It had a more human scale and so was fun. I also love the fact that Phryne can fix EVERYTHING, including the situations her friends get into!
Which character ??? as performed by Stephanie Daniel ??? was your favorite?Well, Phryne, of course! But, they were all well played, she didn't lose track of them either.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Yes, I ended up with it on my iPod in my pocket as I went through the day so I wouldn't miss a moment, but could get on with errands and such. Everyone thinks I'm listening to music.

"A Wonderful Escape for Time at the Gym."
What made the experience of listening to Flying Too High the most enjoyable?Fylying too high is light and engaging. It is pure escapist and performed quite well. I have enjoyed listening to this seris while at the gym.

"Not Bad"
The place and period make this mystery series stand out, but it is very light reading, and the protagonist's enlightened attitudes seem a little too easily achieved for the times. A pleasant enough wish fulfillment fantasy, but the explicit casual sex scenes avoid any mention of prophylaxis or contraception, even though there is a plot that involves backstreet abortions in the first book and discussions of the poor resources for women's health problems.
