Murder on the Ballarat Train: A Phryne Fisher Mystery Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Interesting period, but not period mystery...sometimes hard to follow with a lack of knowledge of Australia. (But this was an American edition, so not a language issue) "

" An easy read. Entertaining and light. I was not particularly "mesmerized" by Phrynne (honestly I thought it was pronounced Fern) and found her constant sarcasm and know-it-all attitude pretty annoying. I thought the desdcriptions of her clothes and car were the best parts of this very short book. "

" A great book for those who like a fun, short mystery with camp & style. "

" If Miss Marple were a flapper.... "

" See, Phryne Fisher is not going to let some guy tell her what to do, unlike SOME PEOPLE. "

" Phyrne is at it again. This time a simple train-ride turns deadly and Phryne, of course, rescues the passengers from a noxious gas filling the train car as it rumbles down the tracks. As she works to find the culprit, she uncovers a ring of monstrous kidnappers bent on stealing young girls to sell to the highest bidder. Her ire is riled, her blood is boiling and soon Bert and Cec are on the case. Silk dresses and silkier cocktails don't get in her way. I wish Myrna Loy was still around to bring Phyrne to live on the silver screen. "

" all these are good but this one is definatley the standout "

" Felt quite short, but loved it. "

" This was a lot of fun. Admittedly, it was pretty light reading, but the author did a good job of crafting a clever mystery and providing a bright and entertaining portrait of 1920s Australia. "

" I love Phryne Fisher books, and I enjoyed this one. But, she's kind of like James Bond, and sometimes I wish that she was more fallible or had more depth. The books are really fun, and I enjoy reading them after particularly intense books, for a breather. "

" A woman is murdered on the "Ballarat Train" and Phryne is right there to help solve the mystery! The plot moves quickly and it is fairly easy to follow! "

" Another good mystery from Greenwood. I have read this series out of order so nice to see how Jane and Ember came to be part of her family. "

" Another light, quick, fun read. "

" I'm really enjoying these books. I'm definitely going to keep reading this series. I love Phryne Fisher. She's such a great character. "

" I love reading the Phryne Fisher books and getting to know more about her escapades and attitudes on life and love. She never lets me down. "

" Very witty and enjoyable. Great summer fantasy. "

" introduction of Ruth and Jane "

" Another wonderful Phryne mystery. This one seemed like it was flowing at a faster pace and at the same time it was a little easier to figure out who the murderer was. I liked learning how Jane and Ruth came to Phryne's. "

" great book . . . .i read them out of order but thats ok cause Phryne Fisher is a honest, helpful, out going lady of the 1920. it is a must read and it does not take long to get into the books "

" Australian crime fiction! 1920's glamorous female detective. Fabulous "

" A fun discoverry- foor fans of Gladys Mitchell's Mrs. Bradley series. "

" Very entertaining, Greenwood has a reverence for and a playful engagement with the English language. Phryne Fisher is superb. Divine. Somewhat unrealistic, but lovable nonetheless. "

" Still yummy, although a quick one. "

" This was a lot of fun. Admittedly, it was pretty light reading, but the author did a good job of crafting a clever mystery and providing a bright and entertaining portrait of 1920s Australia. "

" Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher series set in 1920s Australia is amusing- a light, pleasant read. This book is especially quick read at only 150 pages. "

" This was a good introduction to the world of Phryne Fisher and Melbourne of the 1920s. Typical that a bad guy came from my old stomping grounds though. I recommend this as a light and relatively fluffy mystery. "

" A fun discoverry- foor fans of Gladys Mitchell's Mrs. Bradley series. "

" great book . . . .i read them out of order but thats ok cause Phryne Fisher is a honest, helpful, out going lady of the 1920. it is a must read and it does not take long to get into the books "

" As always Phryne saves the day. I like that although these books are short, they hold more than books three times this size. I can't wait to see what falls her way next! "

" Another wonderful Phryne mystery. This one seemed like it was flowing at a faster pace and at the same time it was a little easier to figure out who the murderer was. I liked learning how Jane and Ruth came to Phryne's. "

" I really enjoyed reading about Phryne's adventures. This open with a murder on a train and introduces some new characters. Lot's of fun in this series! "

" The irrepressible Phryne strikes again. Another romp set in 1928 Melbourne Australia. In this one Phryne solves a murder, an abduction and adopts two young girls (victims of the villains). An thoroughly enjoyable series. "

" First time reading this author. My grandmother grew up around Balarat so it was great to read the descriptions of the country side. Author was able to transport me to another time and place and was sad to get to the end and have to come back to reality "
