Story
1948. After serving with the French Resistance during the Second World War, codenamed La Chatte Noire, Phryne Fisher escaped to Australia in search of sunshine, butter and peace. So she’s furious when tragedy intrudes upon her newfound tranquillity and she discovers a dead man on Somerton Beach - well-dressed, good-looking and with a secret smile on his lips. The police are baffled as to his identity and cause of death - not to mention the scrap of paper bearing the words TAMAM SHUD found upon him, and the coded message in the book from which it was torn.

This program includes a preface read by the author. In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes - and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern 20th-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

Away with the Fairies is Magical!
Where does Away with the Fairies rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's right up there with all of the other wonderful Phryne Fisher books I've listened to as audio books.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Oh, my yes! The suspense was in every scene and the characters are so likable (the good ones) that you very much care what becomes of them.
What about Stephanie Daniel’s performance did you like?
She's a terrific actress and when she's reading a man's part, I forget she's a woman, and she does all of the accents to a T.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Oh, gosh, too many parts! I'd have to give the plot away if I named them all!
Any additional comments?
I'd recommend this series to any fan of cross-cultural historical mysteries, Agatha Christie, Tommy and Tuppence and you also learn a lot about Australia and its history in the course of the story.

Two great plots entwined
In addition to solving a murder, Miss Fisher must also rescue her lover from Chinese pirates. Neither plot is simple and Phryne is aided by her usual friends to solve the murder and rescue Lin Chung. Great stories!

Phryne has a job??
Phryne joins the ranks of the employed to solve a case. Well, for Phryne anyway. I love the 20's era the stories are set in. The depression hasn't hit yet, things are tough but not so tough. The plot is very good. Phryne seems to have more interactions with the suspects in this book, at least to me. I enjoyed it thoroughly!

Not the television version
This, as with all the Phryne Fisher series, is well researched and written. I love reading the books upon which the tv series was based. Of course, 'the book is always better' holds true for this series. The fleshing out of characters and their personalities is so good! As is the subplot which the television series never touched on. This is one that I will listen to many times.

Non stop action
Two mysteries solved by the end of the book! The first mystery involves the death of a fairy books writer and illustrator who has turned quite blue upon her death and the death of her bird who turned from blue to pink...small details no one noticed at first...The second involves pirates sending Phryne the severed ear of her beloved Lin Chun. Phryne must deal with the formidable matriarch of the Lin family known as the dragon lady in order to affect a rescue attempt of her lover Lin... amazingly precise efforts produce results in both mysteries...great plots intertwined successfully to satisfying conclusions!

Phryne Rules!
Jack asks Pryne to look into a suspicious death. A writer obsessed with fairies who also writes an advice column for a women's magazine is found dead. She had previously consulted Jack because of some threats she received that he didn't take seriously. Phryne determines the woman's cause of death and is on the case. She even becomes a staff member of the women's magazine as part of her investigation.
It also appears someone is trying to kill Phryne. Moreover, Lin is missing after a trip to China to buy silk, and Phryne receives a grotesque object in the post. She has an audience with Lin's grandmother and Li Pen, his bodyguard -- who was released after a message was carved on his chest. It appears that Lin has been captured by pirates. Although their business depends on integrity in releasing captives after ransom is paid, the Lin family paid but Lin has not been released. Phryne enlists Bert and Cec to find a wharf rat who can educate her about pirates. He previously sailed on the missing ship, and when she learns pirates sometimes disguise ships and boldly sail into port to sell the cargo they stole, she assigns them to watch for the ship. Ultimately, Phryne personally leads a daring rescue mission.

I love all Kerry's books and I just love the TV shows that are based on her books. I can not get enough of them. I was so disappointed when they stopped the show. That is when I started reading her books and they are just as good as the TV shows. There just are not enough of them to keep me going. She needs to write more.

Jolly good fun
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and while I do my tasks I like to listen to audio books. My current favourite is the Phryne Fisher series! The books are well read and the mysteries and characters are entertaining without being too grim! Some of the more sensual scenes mean that I have to make sure I am not listening with my 6 year old in the room.

Brilliant!
So far this is my favourite book in this series. Phryne Fisher as always leaves me feeling that I wish I have lived in her time and place and that I could have been that brave.
Kerry Greenwood explains this book at the start, and it is good to hear the author reading this part.
This book has two stories within the one you have the death of a writer and the more about Lin Chung.
I became engrossed and very attached to all in this book and wanted to Phryne ?to get her man?
While worth a listen whether you are a first timer, or are just not taken with this book, its a lot better than in may first sound, and I am left with the wish that I could write just to be able to kill people off!
