Murder on a Midsummer Night Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Good old Phryne. "

" Interesting mixture of upper class English and Australian slang but it took me too long to accept the manners of Miss Fisher, so I think I'll leave this series alone. "

" Despite all my best efforts I am totally glomming this series, and I am nearly out of books in it!! :( *SNIFF* "

" fun, I needed this to counteract Postwar... "

" I enjoy reading about this wealthy flapper who solves mysteries. This one was a little convoluted or perhaps I just was too distracted by life. I didn't like it as much. "

" This is the 17th book in the Phryne Fisher Mystery series. It is set at the beginning of 1929 in Australia. This time Phryne has two mysteries to solve - a murder and a missing child. "

" A solid Phryne Fisher novel. I give it 3.5 stars. The double mystery plays well, and the narrative vignettes at the beginning of each chapter conclude very satisfactorily at the end of the novel. "

" Book #17 starts 1929 and a new murder investigation in the form of Mrs. Manifold's son "accidental" drowning. After almost dying at the Last Best Party of 1928, Phryne not only takes this case, but also the mystery of the putatuve child and family secrets. "

" What a surprise to find a modern author that can still handle the English language. Surely 'American' and English have parted company. Imagine: There are still authors producing good reading with a good vocabulary, good grammar, and the ability to plot and carry a narrative. "

" Ehh, it was okay. "

" I love Phryne. She is a grown-up's Nancy Drew. She's sophisticated and daring, rich and ribald, wise and witty, and able to keep up with boys even better than Nancy ever did. The plots are never all that intricate, but they're so much fun! "

" A lovely light interlude. "

" Usual pleasant mystery, always fun. "

" Intriguing book, kept my interest throughout. Only one scene I thought crass and unnecessary. "

" Loved it. Perfect read for a snowy day. Old-fashioned mystery. "

" Phryne is at it again. I thought this an especially good one in the series. "

" Phryne solves the question of was it suicide or murder? It was' murder. Who did it and why? Phryne finds out dealing with thugs and anarchists along the way. Phryne is a courageious, emancipated woman living in 1929/1930 Melbourne, Australia. Amusing. "

" Probably the coziest of the Fisher mysteries -- fewer violent attacks, more staying home with Phryne's piecemeal family and eating lavish meals (accompanied, as always, by staggering amounts of coffee and gin). "

" Another great adventure with the always alluring and adventurous Aussie detective, Phryne Fisher. "

" Another good read from Kerry Greenwood. Dealing with archeaological artifacts, amongst other things. Phryne has moved into 1929. "

" Phrynne is always entertaining. "

" This is actually the first of Kerry's books I've read! I very much enjoyed the characters and writing, and can see why Kerry's books are so popular. Having said that, it's not my 'cup of tea' - I prefer modern forensic-based books and police procedurals. "

" The Phryne Fisher books are usually a fun and engaging read, but I found this one a little slow in parts. I much preferred others such as Murder in Montparnasse, Queen of the Flowers and The Green Hill Murders. "

" Usual pleasant mystery, always fun. "

" Kerry Greenwood is a delight to read - I love analysing the vocabulary she uses in(English is not my mother tongue). One example:"Her burned epidermis had already begun to desquamate". "

" Another great adventure with the always alluring and adventurous Aussie detective, Phryne Fisher. "

" There were two different plots in this one and I didn't especially care about either one, and I don't think the author did either. What it was really about, as far as I could tell, was How To Cope When it's Really Hot and You're Fabulous. "

" Loved it. Perfect read for a snowy day. Old-fashioned mystery. "

" Kerry Greenwood would be good fun at a party I'm sure! Her lead character Phryne Fisher is written with panache and sparkle and is always enjoyable to follow in story. As with previous Phryne Fisher books, there is the added pleasure of discovering a 1920s Australia. "

" Excellent of type. Greenwood has the ability to transform her writing in a way that adds to the readers' feeling for the period in which the story is set--in this case, early 1929, Melbourne Australia. "
