The Green Mill Murder

Dancing divinely through the murder and mayhem of her fifth adventure, the elegant Phryne Fisher remains unflappable.

Gorgeous in her sparkling lobelia-coloured georgette dress, delighted by her dancing skill, pleased with her partner, and warmed by the admiring regard of the banjo player, Miss Phryne Fisher had thought of tonight as a promising evening at the hottest dancehall in town, the Green Mill.

But that was before death broke in. In jazz-mad 1920s Melbourne, Phryne finds there are hidden perils in dancing the night away like murder, blackmail, and young men who vanish.

The Green Mill Murder, Phryne Fisher's fifth adventure, leads to smoke-filled clubs, a dashingly handsome band leader, some fancy flying across the Australian Alps, and a most unexpected tryst with a gentle stranger.

Independent, wealthy, spirited, and possessed of an uninhibited style that makes everyone move out of her way and stand gawking a full five minutes after she walks by, Phryne Fisher is a woman who gets what she wants and has the good sense to enjoy every minute of it!
