This post is in honour of Kerry Greenwood.








 Her detective is Phryne Fisher; a fearless flapper from the 1920s.  Kerry wrote 22 books in this series along with other novels, but, it is the Miss Fisher books that she's well known for. 

I am listening to Death in Daylesford in her honour. Phryne and Dot have gone to Daylesford and soon there are murders and missing women as well. Meanwhile in Melbourne Hugh is working with a new inspector to find out who killed the girl found floating in the river.

These are fun light hearted crime books. Phryne is a real free spirit and lives her life on her own terms. Some were made into a TV series and some of you may have seen these.

Sadly Kerry Greenwood passed away on March 26th 2025.

I think it's always interesting to hear the creative process that goes into writing a book. I haven't read either book but l am tempted by the mystery book. Jodi Gibson, in her own words, writes female feel goo...
