Story
It's the end of the roaring twenties, and the exuberant and Honourable Phryne Fisher is dancing and gaming with gay abandon. But she becomes bored with London and the endless round of parties. In search of excitement, she sets her sights on a spot of detective work in Melbourne, Australia. And so mystery and the beautiful Russian dancer, Sasha de Lisse, appear in her life. From then on it's all cocaine and communism until her adventure reaches its steamy end in the Turkish baths of Little Lonsdale Street.

Story
Baking is an alchemical process for Corinna Chapman. At four am she starts work at Earthly Delights, her bakery in Calico Alley. But one morning Corinna receives a threatening note saying "The wages of sin is death" and finds a syringe in her cat's paw. A blue-faced junkie has collapsed in the dark alley and a mysterious man with beautiful eyes appears with a plan for Corinna and her bread. Then it is Goths, dead drug addicts, witchcraft, a homeless boy and a missing girl and it seems she will never get those muffins cooked in time.

Story
1948. After serving with the French Resistance during the Second World War, codenamed La Chatte Noire, Phryne Fisher escaped to Australia in search of sunshine, butter and peace. So she’s furious when tragedy intrudes upon her newfound tranquillity and she discovers a dead man on Somerton Beach - well-dressed, good-looking and with a secret smile on his lips. The police are baffled as to his identity and cause of death - not to mention the scrap of paper bearing the words TAMAM SHUD found upon him, and the coded message in the book from which it was torn.

Story
England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

Publisher's Summary
A succession of jewelry thefts from first-class passengers is hardly the best advertisement for a cruise liner, particularly when it is likely that it is a passenger who is doing the stealing. Phryne Fisher, with her Lulu bob, green eyes, Cupid's bow lips and Chanel traveling suits, is exactly the sort of elegant sleuth to take on a ring of jewelry thieves on the high seas - or at least, aboard the SS Hinemoa on a luxury cruise to New Zealand. With the Maharani - the Great Queen of Sapphires - as the bait, Phryne rises magnificently to the challenge.

Brilliant story
I do love Kerry Greenwood's books. but unfortunately the Maori words where dreadfully mispronounced. I cringed at every "Marai" said.
Narrators need to learn the correct pronunciation for native language out of respect for the people if nothing else

Another Hit
Great listen full of lovely imagery. Not keen on the kiwi accent, bit over done and a few Maori words need to be checked for pronunciation . Despite that a fun listen.

Another fabulous book from K Greenwood
Each of Kerry’s books delight and intrigue me most I have listened to repeatedly. Death by water was very much a delight which I will undoubtedly repeat many times.

Love it.... but
Overall this book is amazing, the story is really interesting and it's fun to see Miss Fisher solving crimes without all her regular minions.
The narrator is brilliant I only have one issue. The Maori words. They are pronounced so badly that some aren't recognisable as the words they are supposed to be. I wish in the lead up to recording they had at least looked up the pronunciation online and actually listened to them. Maori is a beautiful language and although some sounds are hard to get when you aren't born to the language it should at least have been given the effort to try and get it right- especially since effort is made in other books containing languages outside of English.

Another great Phryne Tale
Loved this story: the setting characters, twists and outcomes. A fun showcase of New Zealand elements too. Kerry Greenwood's writing is a delight, and Stephanie Alexander narratesike no other.
