The nice men at P+O are worried. A succession of jewellery thefts from first class passengers is hardly the best advertisement for their cruise liners, particularly when it is likely that a passenger is doing the stealing.
Phryne Fisher, with her Lulu bob, green eyes, Cupid's bow lips and Chanel travelling suits, is exactly the sort of elegant sleuth to take on a ring of jewellery thieves aboard the high seas - or at least, aboard the SS Hinemoa on a luxury cruise to New Zealand. With the Maharani - the Great Queen of Sapphires - as the bait, Phryne rises magnificently to the challenge.
There are shipboard romances, champagne cocktails, erotic photographers, jealous husbands, mickey finns, blackmail and attempted murder, all before the thieves find out - as have countless love-smitten men before them - that where the glamorous and intelligent Phryne is involved, resistance is futile.
Kerry Greenwood (1954-2025) is the author of more than fifty novels, a collection of short stories and six non-fiction titles, and she was the editor of two acclaimed anthologies of crime writing. Kerry is best known for her beloved Phryne Fisher series, which inspired the internationally successful ABC television drama Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Across her remarkable career, Kerry created some of the most iconic heroines in Australian fiction, including the glamorous, fearless Phryne Fisher and the compassionate baker-sleuth Corinna Chapman.
Since 1997, her books have sold more than 1.4 million copies worldwide. A gifted storyteller, a generous soul and a passionate advocate for creativity, joy and justice, Kerry's influence on readers, writers and the literary community has been profound.
