Hi there,


“Elegant”, “sharp as a tack”, “irresistibly charming.” We’re talking about the fictional character ​Miss Phryne Fisher​ here, the glamorous private detective who lived in 1920s Melbourne. Miss Fisher was created by the Australian author Kerry Greenwood, who wrote no less than twenty-two books in the series - some of which were made into TV shows. Now, Greenwood was quite a character herself, originally a criminal defence lawyer, but then turned into a writer of books and plays. Also, she was a founding member of the organisation ​‘Sisters in Crime - Australia'​, where she helped other female crime writers to carry out their dream of writing and publishing their novels. Anyway, meet the entertaining Miss Fisher, a woman who “gets what she wants and has the good sense to enjoy every minute of it!” Inspirational indeed.
