My new favorite Phryne Fisher! And set on a cruise ship, which I loved. Super fun, fast, and amazing read.

Always enjoy a good Phryne read! Picking 'the crim' in this one was a bit too easy but I still enjoyed it. Good holiday reading 📖 😊

Finishing this will be a great way to end 2020! Love Phryne, she's one of my go to story choices after a particularly intense read 😊

In book 15 of the murder mysteries, Phryne and Dot go on a cruise to find a thief and leave all the other characters behind. That made it easier for me not to compare the tv show and the books all the time, because it's only the second book that I have read. There's an interesting cast of characters on the ship , including some that you just love to hate. I had lots of fun, although I'm not interested in going on a cruise, ever 🚢

Book 15 in my Phryne Fisher reread was not one of my favorites the first time around. But it holds up better on audiobook and I bumped my rating from 3 to 4 stars. I think the reason it‘s not my fave is that they are away from St. Kilda and all of the wonderful secondary characters. Still, worth reading if you love Phryne! 4⭐️

Another book down in my #PhryneMarathon this one being very apropos right now considering the fact NSW is currently underwater! Australia, burning one day, drowning the next🤿 And of course, my roof is leaking and I now have a lovely crop of black mould in my foyer. Wonderful. At least the book was great, Phryne & Dot take a case that brings them on a cruise ship to New Zealand in chase of a jewel thief. Hijinks ensue.☺️ #phryneappreciationclub

CarolynM Oh no! Hope you can get rid of that mould fast! 4y

This Phryne Fisher mystery takes place on a cruise ship. I‘d love to be on a cruise with Phryne, even if crimes were occurring! I haven‘t read this but I love the TV series. #Ship #LetsTravelAugust

OriginalCyn620 Are these cozy mysteries or regular? I still haven‘t read a cozy mystery! 5y
MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 I‘m not really sure about the books bc I‘ve only watched the show. I think they‘re probably cozies though, unless they‘re surprisingly violent! You should try Agatha Raisin. 5y

#MayBookFlowers #day8 #BodyOfWater The body of water in this particular story is the Tasman Sea. Phryne Fisher is hired by P&O Cruises to find a jewel thief onboard the SS Hinemoa, on a cruise from Melbourne to New Zealand. With her companion Dot they navigate shipboard romances, erotic photographers, jealous husbands & some of the most beautiful sunsets & harbours in the world. Even a fjord & glacier! Gorgeous.

Took me longer than usual to finish this book, not because it was boring but because I've been tempted by my new comfy lounge, to just sit in splendor & chill on pay tv & Netflix. But I have resisted temptation today & finished No15 in The Hon.Phryne Fisher series. Phryne & Dot have escaped their noisy house & joined a P&O cruise to New Zealand to catch a jewel thief. As always, Phryne's adventures are entertaining, & her clothes are beautiful.4⭐️

After a headache induced night of lying on my new lounge watching Netflix, I'm starting the next Phryne Fisher in the series. Phryne & Dot have escaped their crowded home & embarked on a P&O cruise. Management have asked her to look into a series of burglaries on the ship, so inbetween romances, cocktails & jazz musicians, she's on the hunt for a thief amongst the first class passengers. This is Bk15 in the series. #phryneismyspiritanimal

pppooraikul Hope you get better soon! (especially after reading.) 😉 7y
Lizpixie Thank you @pppooraikul I am feeling much better. I think it's either eye strain, which means I need new glasses already, or neck strain, from looking down to read. Either way, it sucks😔 7y
pppooraikul Agree. Maybe you can try audiobooks when it hurts? And a good spa day always helps. 😁 7y
erzascarletbookgasm I hate headaches and migraines! Feel better soon, Liz. My pesky cough is still lingering after 11 days :( 7y
