Queen of the Flowers: A Phryne Fisher Mystery Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Loved it, as I have all the entries in this enchanting series of lighthearted mysteries set in 1920s Australia. A thrilling story, plenty of humor, and a cast of lively characters, especially our indomitable heroine, Phryne. "

" Could be my favourite of the Phryne Fisher series. "

" This was fun, but I kind of wanted something different to happen for a change. Also, I wanted more description of the costume for the Queen of the Flowers. "

" Fun book (the whole Phryne Fisher series) about a 1928 Austrailan woman who solves mysteries while enjoying her liberated lifestyle. Witty and colorful. "

" There is also something special in her books. I think the elephants were quite a good touch. "

" Phryne Fisher is always a delicious treat - oh to have a life as glamorous and adventurous a life! These novels are not a challenging red but perfect as an escapist read in summer, by the fire or at times when life's stresses seem overwhelming. "

" Typical Phrynne. Quirky, atmospheric, and ultimately charming. "

" Another winner that I finished just before the holidays. "

" so far, this is the my favorite of this series. One of Phryne's adopted daughters searches for and finds her father but not until Phryne finds and rescues a sexually abused teenager, an old lover and solves the mystery of "who done it". "

" the problem with Phryne is i read the whole thing in one sitting! "

" I have loved all the Phryne Fisher books. "

" This is the Phryne Fisher I'd been led to expect. I didn't find her in Ruddy Gore, the first Phryne Fisher novel that I read, but she's far more developed in Queen of the Flowers. The case and the milieu were not especially interesting, but the characterization in general was improved. "

" I love Phryne Fisher - real girl's own adventure stories "

" I'm not sure why, but this just didn't keep my interest as so many of the others in the series have done. I started over once and even back-tracked after a while. "

" Kerry Greenwood has created a wonderful character with Phryne Fisher. She is a smart, compassionate, brave, loyal, & stylish modern woman. This series is a pleasure to read for the mysteries and the interesting cast of characters. Readers get an entertaining glimpse into 1920s Melbourne, Australia. "

" I found it totally odd that one of Phryne's crew would go missing and there wouldn't be a bit more...anxiety? But nope! Everyone sleeps soundly (seriously, Miss Greenwood makes a point of specifying this) and Phryne goes on with her usual community tasks. "

" Even after reading a dozen of Greenwood's Phryne Fisher books I still think she's going strong. Phryne is one of those rare mystery characters that you are sure must live somewhere in this reality; it's too impossible to write a character like that otherwise. "

" I found this story to be a bit scattered. It still had the great Phryne Fisher quality to it but I was a bit more critical about my feelings toward the structure of this one. "

" These books are like candy -- you just keep snarfing them up! Greenwood has a way of making serious themes (in this one, there's some child abuse) palatable because the bad guys get their due. And it's just fascinating to see what Australia was like at the time. Great characters, clever plotting. "

" Just okay- basically filler in my reading, Main character reminds me of one of my friends, I will let you guess. "

" I have read several of the Phryne Fisher "mysteries" which are delightful, light reading. "

" The circus is in town and Phryne is preparing for the parade as the Queen of Flowers. But there is the mystery of missing flower pricess Rose Weston and then Ruth goes missing after trying to find her father. "

" Very fun. Phryne is a terrific character. "

" A little 1920's Melbourne escapism. I love the decadence of those times but sometimes the character of Phryne is getting on my nerves. How could she just sit there so calmly when her daughter was kidnapped? Oh but of course, she's the Hon Phyrne Fisher and she always get them in the end. *sheesh* "
