This series is based
on novels written by Kerry Greewood. When Detective John ‘Jack’ Robinson learns about a murder, Phryne
Fisher is always right behind him looking for clues. Jack also has help from his partner Hugh Collins. Dorothy ‘Dot’
Williams, Mr. Butler, Bert, Cec and Dr. Mac assist Phryne. There are a lot of crimes in these episodes. An act at a magic show kills a woman. Another woman is killed outside an Air Force
base. An Italian grandmother is
killed in her restaurant kitchen.
A boy living on the street goes missing and his brother needs help finding
him. Phryne’s Aunt Prudence opens
her home to a psychiatrist and natural healer. A hotel concierge falls to his death. A woman is murdered at a tennis
club. A man who wants to kill
Phryne’s father escapes from a hospital.
All these events take
place in the 20’s. It’s the
flapper age and Phryne doesn’t hesitate to dress in the latest fashions. I liked the clothing, hairstyles and
the cars. The plots and the acting
are good too. Each episode is
different and interesting. 4* (I
really liked this series)

Her revolver is a Chiefs Special model that was introduced in American in 1950. Similar models by Smith and Wesson were distinctly different in appearance.
