Cocaine Blues (Phryne Fisher Mysteries, 1) af Kerry Greenwood

Cocaine Blues, the first Phryne Fisher mystery, throws you headfirst into the glamorous and dangerous world of 1920s Melbourne. Our protagonist, Phryne Fisher, is a wealthy heiress bored with English society. She embarks on a trip to Australia to investigate a possible poisoning, but soon finds herself tangled in a web of cocaine smuggling, illegal abortions, and hidden agendas.

This debut novel introduces Phryne's signature style – think flapper fashions, sharp wit, and a penchant for adventure. You'll also meet some of her future recurring companions, like the resourceful maid Dot. The historical setting adds a touch of authenticity, while the mystery itself keeps you guessing until the thrilling climax.

If you're looking for a fun, fast-paced read with a strong female lead, Cocaine Blues is a great place to start.… (mere)

Blood and Circuses (Phryne Fisher Mysteries, 6) af Kerry Greenwood

This is the first Phryne Fisher mystery I have read. It was okay, an average story. I enjoyed learning about the circus and how trick riding really works, and some of the characters were quite memorable, but alas, not Phryne Fisher herself. She didn't really do anything to solve the mystery of Farrell's Circus, except sleep with the clowns and wake up with the bears.
