About this listen

An orchestral conductor has been found dead and Detective Inspector Jack Robinson needs the delightfully incisive and sophisticated Miss Fisher's assistance. Hugh Tregennis has been murdered in a most flamboyant mode by a killer with a point to prove. But how many killers is Phryne really stalking?

At the same time, the dark curls and disdainful air of mathematician and code-breaker Rupert Sheffield are taking Melbourne by storm. They've certainly taken the heart of Phryne's old friend from the trenches of WWI, John Wilson. Phryne recognises Sheffield as a man who attracts danger and is determined to protect John from harm. While Mendelssohn's 'Elijah,' memories of the Great War, and the science of deduction ring in her head, Phryne's past must also play its part as MI6 become involved in the tangled web of murders.

Critic reviews

"Greenwood's strength lies in her ability to create characters that are wholly satisfying: the bad guys are bad, and the good guys are great." ( Vogue)

Lin is in Hong Kong so Phryne turns to the highly wrought milieu of a semiprofessional choir for amusement, along the way her adventure considers PTSD, the correct way to conduct Mendelssohn and an homage to John Watson & Sherlock Holmes. Stephanie Daniels is, as always, a superb reader.

Enjoyable story, pity about the narration . Why one would cast a voice who is a) not only English but incapable of anything approaching an Australian accent, and b) tone deaf , for a story about Mendelssohn set in Australia and, is beyond me.Her pacing was repetitive, her attempts at singing painful and her poetry reading insensitive. The story is a lovely Phryne Fisher mystery. Lots of feminism, lots of laughs. possibly it was drawn out a little too long, but enjoyable, despite the atrocious narration.

Terrible narration, fabulous Phryne.

far too much of the book was lyrics and stephanie daniels should desist from accents as she is appalling at most of them

too many lyrics
