Phryne Fisher is doing one of her favorite things -dancing at the Green Mill (Melbourne's premier dance hall) to the music of Tintagel Stone's Jazzmakers, the band who taught St Vitus how to dance. And she's wearing a sparkling lobelia-coloured georgette dress. Nothing can flap the unflappable Phryne -especially on a dance floor with so many delectable partners. Nothing except death, that is.

The dance competition is trailing into its last hours when suddenly, in the middle of "Bye Bye Blackbird" a figure slumps to the ground. No shot was heard. Phryne, conscious of how narrowly the missile missed her own bare shoulder, back, and dress, investigates. This leads her into the dark smoky jazz clubs of Fitzroy, into the arms of eloquent strangers, and finally into the sky, as she follows a complicated family tragedy of the great War and the damaged men who came back from ANZAC cove. Phryne flies her Gypsy Moth Rigel into the Autralian Alps, where she meets a hermit with a dog called Lucky and a wombat living under his bunk.... and risks her life on the love between brothers.

Critic reviews

"Australian crime fiction is becoming increasingly popular in North America, but Greenwood's series, thanks to its sparkling evocation of how the 1920s roared Down Under, manages to stand apart from the crowd. Anyone who hasn't discovered Phryne Fisher by now should start making up for lost time." ( Booklist)

Carrie Greenwood has such great knowledge of not only Australia but history after world war I. She does such an exquisite job of describing in detail the Unique Australian outback one moment, then all the gear a early Aviator would need in the next moment. Yes, the plots are tidy in her story but sometimes that can be a refreshing break after reading books of the worlds uglyness and war as I’m often reading.

I usually prefer the book to the movie. Not in this case. The Every Cloud production was cleaner, more exciting, and made more sense.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Green Mill Murder to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, but I do think that the narrator has a good range of voices and variety. The only issue I had was the Southern American accent. That's probably because I'm a Southerner, so the accent was quite off to me. Other than that, the reading is excellent.

I wish the books weren't so short though!

Which scene was your favorite?

I really liked the description of flying and the plane-- I knew nothing about a Gypsy Moth plane, so I had to look it up.

Any additional comments?

There are very nice moments with the author at the end of the book too, so you can hear about her inspirations, and find out about details in the story. I like that the recording studio included those.

Very solid and enjoyable story!

Another great book in the Phryne Fisher series. I have liked all of them but this is probably my favorite. It's a great storyline and is definitely worth the read.
