Praise for Murder in Montparnasse... "A most charming, sexy,
independent, and candid heroine; clever, literate dialog; and
closely woven plotting will win immediate fans for this series."
-Library Journal starred review "An independent, unconventional PI
whose competence and unflappability call to mind Dorothy Sayers'
Harriet Vane." -Publishers Weekly Seven Australian soldiers,
carousing in Paris in 1918, unknowingly witness a murder, with
devastating consequences. Ten years later, two are dead...under
very suspicious circumstances. Phryne (pronounced Fry-Knee)
Fisher's friends, Bert and Cec (sometimes cabbies and sometimes men
for hire), appeal to her for help. They were part of this group of
soldiers in 1918, and they fear for their lives and for those of
the other three men. It's only as Phryne delves into the
investigation that she, too, remembers being in Montparnasse on
that very same fatal day. Meanwhile, her lover, Lin Chung, is about
to be married. And the effect this is having on her own usually
peaceful household is disastrous.... Kerry Greenwood was born in
the Melbourne suburb of Footscray. She has degrees in English and
Law from Melbourne University and has written more than twenty
novels; a number of plays; is an award winning children's writer.
Kerry has written eighteen books inthe Phryne Fisher series with no
sign yet of Miss Fisher hanging up her pearl-handled pistol.
