Publisher Marketing: Praise for earlier Phryne Fisher mysteries... A charming, sexy, independent, and candid heroine. -Library Journal starred review of Murder in Montparnasse It's 1929, and girls are going missing. Little, pretty, golden-haired girls. Three of them are pregnant, poor girls from the harsh confines of the Magdalene Laundry. Polly Kettle, a pushy, self-important girl reporter with ambition and no sense of self preservation, decides to investigate and promptly goes missing herself. It's time for Phryne and Dot to find Polly Kettle before something quite irreparable happens. It's all piracy and dark cellars, convents and plots, murder and mystery...and the decidedly raven-haired Phryne finally finds out if blondes really do have more fun. Kerry Greenwood has written eighteen books in the Phryne Fisher series with no sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol. www.phrynefisher.com Review Citations: Audio File 02/01/2013 pg. 49 (EAN 9781743187371, Compact Disc) - *Starred Review Booklist Editors Choice/Media 01/01/2014 pg. 17 (EAN 9781743187371, Compact Disc) Audio File Best Mystery & Susp 12/01/2012 pg. 31 (EAN 9781743150610, Compact Disc) Publishers Weekly 10/22/2012 (EAN 9781464201257, Paperback) Booklist 11/15/2012 pg. 25 (EAN 9781464201257, Paperback) Publishers Weekly 10/22/2012 pg. 39 (EAN 9781464201233, Hardcover) Booklist 11/15/2012 pg. 25 (EAN 9781464201233, Hardcover) Kirkus Reviews 11/15/2012 (EAN 9781464201233, Hardcover) - *Starred Review Library Journal 01/01/2013 pg. 70 (EAN 9781464201233, Hardcover) - *Starred Review Contributor Bio:  Greenwood, Kerry Kerry Greenwood is the author of more than 40 novels and six non-fiction books.
