Murder in Williamstown

De: Kerry Greenwood

Narrado por: Wendy Bos

Accustomed to both murder and dalliance, Australia's favourite detective, the inimitable Miss Fisher, returns in a case that will test her tact and judgement to the full.

When the redoubtable Miss Phryne Fisher receives threatening letters at her home, she enlists the unflappable apprentice Tinker to investigate. But as the harassment of Phryne threatens to spin out of control, her lover, Lin Chung is also targeted.

Meanwhile, Dot begins to fear that her fiance, newly promoted Sergeant Hugh Collins, has gone cold on setting a date for their wedding. Phryne's clever daughters, Ruth and Jane, begin their own investigation into suspiciously dwindling funds when they are sent to help at the Blind Institute.

None of this is quite enough to prevent Phryne from accepting an invitation to a magnificent party at the house of the mysterious Hong. When the party is interrupted by shocking tragedy, Phryne gathers all of her unerring brilliance to track down the miscreants. With some unlikely assistance, Phryne is in a race against time to save a pair of young lovers from disgrace and death.

The younger ones get involved.

As always, I just adore her stories. I love her open-mindedness, her lack of preaching, her sense of right and wrong, her humor, her portrayal of women, and the way to be a good human being in this universe. All while having a protagonist who, defies the bounds of convention and is ultimately comfortable with herself.

Kerry Greenwood fan

I have read/listened to every Kerry Greenwood book I have been able to find. I was so pleased to find Murder in Williamstown. Wendy Bos voice is wonderful. I highly recommend reading all of the Phryne Fisher books, preferably in order as the stories grow on each other. I also highly recommend Ms Greenwood’s Corinna Chapman series.

I guess this is the last book in the series and so sad. But it is as really good with murder and suspense as usual

i miss stephanie daniel

this new narrator isn‘t even remotely up to the task. following the plot gets quite tedious when you can barely differentiate between all the characters. no talent for dialects/accents.
The written book is a better experience. the books plot is also a bit questionable in places. always annoying when an author doesn‘t remember their own characters back stories.

Odd character changes in this one, good story.

First let me say this it is a good story, engaging and a great mystery. I love Kerry Greenwood and buy almost everything she writes. The reader is not bad, but I miss Stephanie Daniels. Here's what I found odd. She seems to have started back at the beginning in relationships with Hugh and Dot and Phryne. In Murder in Montparnasse, it is Phryne who helps Lin and Camilla with their relationship. In this book Camilla is almost adversarial. Jane cut off her hair when Fraiser tried to drown her in Queens Cliff by pulling her under with her plat. "no light pole involved" Lin and Phryne seem like strangers until the end of the book. The college was in Sidney not in Williamstown. "see Death before wicket" Last odd thing, I miss the quote at the beginning of each chapter.
