OUR STORE IS CLOSED ON ANZAC DAY: THURSDAY 25 APRIL
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- This is a collection of short stories, featuring the fabulous Phryne Fisher. It is an updated edition of the 2007 book 'A Question of Death' but contains four new stories (written in 2019-20) and with some of the older stories tightened up or slightly re-written because Kerry saw bits in them that needed attention! Any fan will welcome a dive back into the world of Phryne, with her gorgeous costumes and insatiable appetites for the good things (and good-looking men) in life, as well as her penchant for mystery and solving crimes. I also enjoyed the lovely introduction which firmly explains that this is the world of book-Phryne, not TV-Phryne (who she loved and admired) - so plunge on in: Melbourne 1928 is waiting for you!

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.
Kerry Greenwood is the author of more than fifty novels, a book of short stories, six non-fiction works, and the editor of two collections of crime writing. Her beloved Phryne Fisher series has become a successful ABC TV series, 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries', which sold around the world. She is also the author of the contemporary crime series featuring Corinna Chapman, baker and reluctant investigator. The most recent Corinna Chapman novel was The Spotted Dog. In addition, Kerry is the author of several books for young adults and the Delphic Women series. When not writing, Kerry has been an advocate in magistrates' courts for the Legal Aid Commission and, in the 2020 Australia Day Honours, was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for services to literature. She is not married, has no children, is the co-warden of a Found Cats' Home and lives with an accredited wizard. In her spare time, she stares blankly out the window.
