Murder and Mendelssohn (Phryne Fisher Mystery)
5 journalers for this copy...
Love Miss Fisher! Hopefully a new reader will love her too!
Book description...
'To the accompaniment of heavenly choirs singing, the fearless Miss Phryne Fisher returns in her 20th adventure with musical score in hand.
An orchestral conductor has been found dead and Detective Inspector Jack Robinson needs the delightfully incisive and sophisticated Miss Fisher's assistance to enter a world in which he is at sea. Hugh Tregennis, not much liked by anyone, 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, disdainful air and the lavender eyes 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 WW1, John Wilson. Phryne recognises Sheffield as a man who attracts danger and is determined to protect John from harm.
Even with the faithful Dot, Mr and Mrs Butler, and all in her household ready to pull their weight, Phryne's task is complex. 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.
A vastly entertaining tale of murder, spies, mathematics and music.'

I was so happy to receive the Phryne Fisher mysteries at the convention. Thank you very much , Imn60. Lovely to met you.
Some years ago I've read the first four novels in german and I enjoyed the reading. Unfortunally there are not morePhyne Fisher mysteries translatet. And now I got some of them at the convention. During our journay I haven't found the time for reading ! Really unlikely for me. So you an see how much we enjoyed the trip. Now at home I read the australian books and streched my holiday felling as I'm reading about the familiar places like St. Kilda, Finders Lane, Victoria Market etc. This is now my last book of the series and I hope to get the others, too. Could be la little bit difficult....
I'll pass the book to a BC friend who likes the Phryne Fisher mysteries as well.
