From AudioFile:
A QUESTION OF DEATH is an exquisite treasure for fans of Kerry Greenwood's mystery series, set in the 1920s and featuring detective Phryne Fisher. The deeply satisfying book is filled with such delectable details as an interview with Phryne, the author's description of Phryne's development into an intrepid Aussie sleuth, and short stories that fill in her early investigative experiences. However, dedicated Greenwood readers may prefer the print version, which features such visual delights by Beth Norling as "What's in Phryne's Bag?," "Phryne's Favorite Headpieces," fashions, favorite cocktail recipes, and an essential glossary. Stephanie Daniel perfectly captures Phryne's upper-crust, refined British articulation, as well as the accents of characters from distant lands. Daniel bravely tackles the diversity of the volume's many gems. A.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
