A Question of Death: An Illustrated Phryne Fisher Treasury - Softcover
The Honourable Phryne Fisher - she of the Lulu bob, green eyes, Cupid's Bow lips and diamante garters - is the 1920's most elegant and irrepressible sleuth. This collection of Phryne short stories and other Phryne miscellany - including Phryne's favourite shoes and hats, decadent cocktail recipes and her best tips for discouraging unwanted admirers - is a gorgeously collectable treat for all Phryne fans. Lavishly illustrated with divine colour illustrations by Beth Norling, A Question of Death will bring joy to the hearts of Phryne Fisher fans everywhere. 'With Phryne Fisher, the indefatigable Greenwood has invented the character-you-fall-in-love-with genre.' The Australian

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
