If you've been wanting to try
the Phryne Fisher mystery series, the first book,
Cocaine Blues, is currently free for Kindle, and the next few are priced at $2.99. If you're using a Nook,
Barnes & Noble has it at $0.99.
Summary of the first book behind the cut. Short version is, I liked Phryne and some of y'all might too.
The London season is in full fling at the end of the 1920s, but the Honorable Phryne Fisher-she of the gray-green eyes and diamant garters-is tiring of polite conversations with retired colonels and dances with weak-chinned men. When the opportunity presents itself, Phryne decides it might be amusing to try her hand at becoming a lady detective in Australia.
Immediately upon settling into Melbourne's Hotel Windsor, Phryne finds herself embroiled in mystery. From poisoned wives and cocaine smuggling, to police corruption and rampant communism ... , Cocaine Blues charts a crescendo of steamy intrigue....
... where I cut the Amazon blurb. It had some spoilers.
Okay. Back to pulling up word, now that the plumber is done. (I get to scrub hell out of a tub later, and will probably go get the shower too. Oh, well!)
