Queen of the Flowers

A Phryne Fisher Mystery

By: Kerry Greenwood

Narrated by: Stephanie Daniel

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.

Phryne Fisher and Her Team Extraordinaire!

Yet another intriguing puzzle for Phryne and her team to solve. And we get to go along for the wild ride. Perfect performance as always.

Great

A lot going on! Kidnapping and hidden secrets. People from the past and people that needed killing! The circus and adventure. Amazing narrator.

Stephenie Daniel has outdone herself.

This is one of Stephenie Daniel's best performances! the Orkney accents were beautiful, and she keeps up with Phryne very well. I loved the addition of the epistlary format interspersed throughout. It added a layer to the story that was interesting and heartbreaking at the same time.

Brilliant

Kerry Greenwood weaves a masterpiece. Great characters, conflicts, mystery, family intrigue. As always her style, creation of new characters and new challenges for het regular cast were brilliant. Loved the tie to music and Orkney Islands too.

Most entertaining book in a long time!

Just like the television series, Miss Phryne Fisher has a story filled with hijinks, a wildly eccentric “chosen” family, and enough energy to keep your pulse up. I loved this story, the mystery, fashion, and wildness of the twenties. The narrator, who plays Miss Fisher is in full exuberant character!
