I have been doing a lot of reading since we came to Medlow Bath. In our bedroom is a bookcase full of books and in particular is a series of crime/mysteries. There must be at least 16 in the series that are set in Australia with the main character Miss Phryne (pronounced fry-knee) Fisher and authored by Kerry Greenwood. They are easy to read and I can manage one every two days or so. Each book is a different mystery and they are sequential. In saying this, probably reading them out of order wouldn't matter too much, other than perhaps the first one. Each chapter also starts with a quote, usually from English literature and her reason for this, to add a little extra mystery for the alert reader.
She has her own website http://www.phrynefisher.com/Kerrygreenwood.html and there is lots of information about both the series and the author. ABC television has made a 13 part series based on the books which according to Helen and Robert was very well done. Something to look out for I think.
The first book, Cocaine Blues.
