Book Summary
When the 1920s' most glamorous lady detective, the
Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher, arranges to go to Ballarat
for the week, she eschews the excitement of her red
Hispano-Suiza racing car for the sedate safety of the
train. The last thing she expects is to have to use her
trusty Beretta .32 to save lives. As the passengers sleep,
they are poisoned with chloroform.
Phryne is left
to piece together the clues after this restful country
sojourn turns into the stuff of nightmares: a young girl
who can't remember anything, rumors of white slavery and
black magic, and the body of an old woman missing her
emerald rings. Then there is the rowing team and the
choristers, all deliciously engaging young men. At first
they seem like a pleasant diversion....
