Murder on a Midsummer Night

By: Kerry Greenwood

Narrated by: Stephanie Daniel

The fabulous Phryne - she of the Lulu bob, Cupid's Bow lips and a pearl-handled pistol in her garter - is back! The 1920s most elegant and irrepressible sleuth returns for her 17th adventure.

Melbourne, Australia, 1929. The year starts off for glamorous private investigator Phryne Fisher with a rather trying heat wave and more mysteries than you could prod a parasol at. Simultaneously investigating the apparent suicide death of a man on St Kilda beach and trying to find a lost, illegimate child who could be heir to a wealthy old woman's fortune, Phryne needs all her wits about her, particularly when she has to tangle with a group of thoroughly unpleasant Bright Young Things.

But Phryne Fisher is a force of nature, and takes in her elegant stride what might make others quail, including terrifying seances, ghosts, Kif smokers, the threat of human sacrifices, dubious spirit guides and maps to buried pirate treasure...

A good story overall

I think the sexual content is unnecessary because the story is good without that. I love all of the period details.

All characters were fine except for:

The voice of Jack Robinson was too grouf. As it didn’t fit the character, who was a gentle man in his ways

Murder on a Midsummer Night

I love all of the Miss Fisher books I've listened to so far and they have yet to disappoint.

one of my favorites in this series

series evokes period and Australia..characters keep evolving. love this series and recommend to start at beginning

Great story; Great performance

Narrator is wonderful. She brings the characters & their spirit alive. A performance vs narration.
