Phryne Fisher

About the Series

The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher is a 1920s London socialite living in Melbourne, Australia (author's country). She is highly fashionable and generous, knows poverty from humble origins; war deaths elevated her father to British aristocracy. Over the series her household expands: maid Dot, butler Mr. Butler & cook Mrs. Butler, cab-drivers Bert & Cec, adopted Ruthie & Jane. She helps Detective Inspector Jack Robinson and Constable Hugh Collins, sweet on Dot. An Australian ABC TV series (began 2012) stays close to cast and plots of books, but not exact.
