About this listen

Phryne Fisher is doing one of her favorite things -dancing at the Green Mill (Melbourne's premier dance hall) to the music of Tintagel Stone's Jazzmakers, the band who taught St Vitus how to dance. And she's wearing a sparkling lobelia-coloured georgette dress. Nothing can flap the unflappable Phryne -especially on a dance floor with so many delectable partners. Nothing except death, that is.

The dance competition is trailing into its last hours when suddenly, in the middle of "Bye Bye Blackbird" a figure slumps to the ground. No shot was heard. Phryne, conscious of how narrowly the missile missed her own bare shoulder, back, and dress, investigates. This leads her into the dark smoky jazz clubs of Fitzroy, into the arms of eloquent strangers, and finally into the sky, as she follows a complicated family tragedy of the great War and the damaged men who came back from ANZAC cove. Phryne flies her Gypsy Moth Rigel into the Autralian Alps, where she meets a hermit with a dog called Lucky and a wombat living under his bunk.... and risks her life on the love between brothers.

Critic Reviews

"Australian crime fiction is becoming increasingly popular in North America, but Greenwood's series, thanks to its sparkling evocation of how the 1920s roared Down Under, manages to stand apart from the crowd. Anyone who hasn't discovered Phryne Fisher by now should start making up for lost time." ( Booklist)

The Green Mill Murder is yet another fabulous Phryne Fisher mystery set in 1920’s post World War One Melbourne.
A simple night out ends with the ever elegant, dashing and sensual Miss Fisher embroiled in a murder at a jazz club’s marathon dance competition.
Narrator Stephanie Daniel bring to life yet another of Kerry Greenwood’s well written mystery stories, which this time involves unreliable jazz musicians, a runaway date, an inheritance and a search in the Victorian Alps for a shell shocked war veteran which put Phryne’s flying (and landing) skills to the test.
Oh, and there’s also ‘love that dare not speak its name’, along with a potato loving wombat.
Without hesitation I totally recommend this one, which also includes a short and interesting chat at the end between author and narrator delving into some of the historical detail.

Well written and well read

I loved this story, which takes Miss Fisher to both a Melbourne nightclub and the Australian Alps. Having just watched the first full-length Miss Fisher movie, I could see this as an excellent plot for a second, with the added advantage of being set wholly in Australia, but in very contrasting environments.
The characters are great , both human and animal.

One of the Best Yet!

Loved this adventure! As always Phyrne's sense of social justice doesn't interfere with her desire for "pretty boys" or her investigation.
Beautifully narrated and thoroughly enjoyable.
