I saw Phryne Fisher on tv before I ever wading into a mystery written by Australian author Kerry Greenwood. The character in the show was strong, wore sumptuous clothing and dared to be seductive as she was smart.
I had hoped to start at the beginning of the series but the library only had the third in house, so I took it. The book did not disappoint. It was as sensous and beautiful as the sets on the show, and Phyrne's level head and moral heart was even more apparent.
Each chapter began with a quote Lewis Carroll. I'm still not sure what most meant, nor did I discover where Ballarat was, but it was a fun read nonetheless, and I look forward to another in the series in the near future.
