The Lady with the Gun Asks the Questions

The Ultimate Miss Phryne Fisher Collection

De: Kerry Greenwood

Narrado por: Wendy Bos

The Honourable Phryne Fisher - she of the Lulu bob, Cupid's bow lips, diamante garters and pearl-handled pistol - is the 1920s' most elegant and irrepressible sleuth.

Miss Phryne Fisher is up to her stunning green eyes in intriguing crime in each of these entertaining, fun and compulsively listenable stories. With the ever-loyal Dot, the ingenious Mr Butler and all of Phryne's friends and household, the action is as fast as Phryne's wit and logic.

Excellent Read

Enjoyable, entertaining, and fun. I highly recommend this book. Great listening while you work, cross stitch, paint, knit, or travel. Would be perfect for travel by plane, bus, or long distance road trip.

some familiar, some new

I very much enjoyed this collection and the narration. Even with the retreads, well worth the time and cost.

lovely escape

beautiful voice, both author and reader. a wonderful distraction. the miss fisher character is a perfect role model for a modern woman.

Collection of Phryne Fisher Stories

I must say I was surprised when I started listening to a collection of short stories. Usually I don’t read short stories but I started to listen to these. They hung together well and they were up to the quality of the novels. So I listened to the whole book.

I recommend this to anyone who likes mysteries. They are great stories. If haven’t read any Phryne Fisher novels, this is a good way to get to know her and her crew.

Enjoyed listening

I loved the intro and the authors notes made up for the collection of short stories

Phryne's short adventures

I enjoyed this collection of short stories and the introduction by Kerry Greenwood in which she talks about the development of the series and mentions the soon to be published 21st Phryne Fisher novel, and also the relationship between the TV Phryne Fisher world and the book world. Those of you who already own A Question of Death, the previous short story collection will be disappointed, as this collection contains the stories from that one plus 4 new stories and the introduction mentioned above. I am fortunate, I was considering buying A Question of Death since I was unable to find a Kindle edition, when I found out about this one, so I was able to get the longer collection without conflict.

I do wonder why neither of these is available for Kindle, at least in the US? I had read A Question of Death in paper copy from the library some years ago.

a question of death

I unwittingly bought this book thinking it was a new collection of short stories. Be aware all but 4 of the stories in this book are from a previous collection called a question of death.

A reprint plus a few new stories.

Disappointing actually. The new reader is mostly ok but her pronunciation of foreign languages is a mess, which is painful when reading an author as widely read and unpretentiously erudite as Kerry Greenwood. The new stories aren’t really mysteries but light fluff. And why is Ember suddenly female? For Phryne addicts who want every word. Otherwise I’d recommend sticking with the original collection and Stephanie Daniel.

A Question of Death + 3 hours new stuff

Yes, this has all of the material previously published as A Question of Death, but there are about 3 hours of new Phryne Fisher stories added to the end. It was a lot of fun!

The author explains the new stuff in the last 4 or 5 minutes of track 3. As to the new reader, Wendy Bos is pretty good.

I enjoyed this book a lot!

Different but fun

It’s worth noting that in the foreword the author tells you plainly that she is really auditioning story lines and character voices. As long as you can roll with that and the fact that this is not the usual narrator this is a fun collection of short stories. Some are considerably better than others.
